Tiger Woods “Major” Disappointment. Yang Wins PGA Championship

For the first time, Tiger Woods failed to capture a  major after leading through 54 holes. Woods 14 for 14 streak came to an end when Y.E Yang won the PGA Championship. He is the Asian born player to win a major. Woods had a mediocre round on Sunday, which left the door open for Yang.  

Congratulations to Y.E Yang!
