Today I watched History in the making on the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods had never lost a major championship when leading, going into the final round. He was 14 and 0 until today.
History From Many Aspects
Today, Tiger's record was broken by Y. E. Yang, a 37-year-old South Korean.
Yang also became the first Asian to win a Major PGA Championship. The worthy challenger was the first to dethrone the mighty Tiger. Yang did it in such a poised and professional way that no one could really be upset. Except maybe Tiger at himself.
It was nice watching Yang play such great golf. Even though I am a die-hard Tiger fan, my hat is off to Yang! He went out there, stood toe to toe with Tiger, and took the game. It was a historic moment in so many ways.
I also know Tiger will bounce back and continue to win many more tournaments and a few more majors. Probably more than a few, or so I hope.
Bringing Meaning To Madness
Oh, another thing. Yang, though born in South Korea, lives in Texas now. Smart guy.
Can I help you find something?
