Yang, a feisty South Korean, sink a 15 foot putt on the 18th hole to win the 2009 PGA Championship and defeat golf’s giant, Tiger Woods.  No-one expected the 110th ranked player in the world, to take down Tiger Woods, but take him down he did.

Tiger led the tournament on each day of play, however, in the span of an hour during the final round, Y.E. Yang showed the world of sports that, yes, Tiger Woods was beatable.  Y.E. Yang played a flawless final round and although he disappointed a lot of Tiger fans, won the respect of millions of golf fans all over the world.  He proved that no-one is invincible.
