Yang Yong-eun, more commonly referred to as "Y.E. Yang" in the U.S., won his only major title, three strokes ahead of runner-up Tiger Woods, a four-time champion. It marked the first (and only) time that Woods had failed to win a major he had led after 54 holes. Yang also became the first Asian-born player to win a men's major championship (although the third of Asian descent, after Vijay Singh and Woods).https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8204549.stm Yang outplays Woods for USPGA win 2009-08-16 BBC Sport 2009-08-17 https://web.archive.org/web/20090817101050/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8204549.stm 17 August 2009 live mdy-all It was the fourth major championship held at the course; it previously hosted the PGA Championship in 2002, won by Rich Beem, and two U.S. Opens (1970, 1991).

The only player who was able to take advantage of this was Woods' playing partner, Yang Yong-eun. Defending champion Pádraig Harrington was in contention early, but made a quintuple-bogey 8 on the par-3 8th, causing him to fall from tied for 2nd to tied for 10th. Lucas Glover also reached contention, but faded with 4 bogeys in a span of 7 holes. Tied on the short par-4 14th, Yang chipped in for eagle from just off the green. The eagle gave Yang the lead which he did not relinquish. Yang sealed the victory by drawing a 210 yd 0 on approach around a tree to within 10 ft m in on the final hole, setting up a birdie against Woods' closing bogey and a winning margin of three strokes.Yang stuns Tiger to become 1st Asian to win majorhttp://www.thegolfchannel.com/leading-edge/yang-tames-tiger-3-hybrid-31467/ Yang Tames Tiger with Help of 3-Hybrid 2010-07-15 Golf Channel David Allen August 17, 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090820223103/http://www.thegolfchannel.com/leading-edge/yang-tames-tiger-3-hybrid-31467/ 2009-08-20 dead mdy-all PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney ($)1 KOR 1997 Yang Yong-eun73-70-67-70=280−81,350,0002 USA Tiger Woods67-70-71-75=283−5810,000T3 NIR Rory McIlroy71-73-71-70=285−3435,000 ENG Lee Westwood70-72-73-70=2855 USA Lucas Glover71-70-71-74=286−2300,000T6 ZAF Ernie Els75-68-70-74=287−1233,125 DEU Martin Kaymer73-70-71-73=287 DNK Søren Kjeldsen70-73-70-74=287 SWE Henrik Stenson73-71-68-75=287 T10 IRL Pádraig Harrington68-73-69-78=288 E150,633 USA Dustin Johnson72-73-73-70=288 USA Zach Johnson74-73-70-71=288 NIR Graeme McDowell70-75-71-72=288 USA John Merrick72-72-74-70=288 ITA Francesco Molinari74-73-69-72=288 Source:http://www.databasegolf.com/tourneys/tournament_byyear.htm?yr=2009&tid=22 databasegolf.com 2009 PGA Championship July 25, 2012 Complete leaderboard Scorecard Final round Hole  1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18 Par445344534 454345434KOR 1997 Yang−6−6−7−7−6−6−6−6−6−6−6−6−6−8−8−8−7−8USA Woods−8−8−8−7−7−7−7−6−6−6−7−6−6−7−7−7−6−5NIR McIlroy+1+1E−1−2−2−2−2−3−3−3−2−2−3−3−3−3−3ENG Westwood−1−1−2−2−2−1−2−2−2−2−3−2−2−3−3−3−3−3USA Glover−4−4−5−5−6−5−5−4−3−3−3−2−2−3−3−3−3−2SWE Stenson−4−3−3−4−3−3−4−3−3−2−3−3−3−3−3−2−1−1IRL Harrington−6−6−6−6−6−6−6−1−1−1−2−1−1−1−1EEE Cumulative tournament scores, relative to par Double Eagle -->EagleBirdieBogeyDouble bogeyTriple bogey+ Source:https://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/leaderboard/2009/33 Yahoo!
