Wow. What a great finish to the PGA Championship here this Sunday!
I practically jumped off the couch when YE pitched in on the par four for eagle. And then went toe to toe with Tiger.
This had to be the best Sund major finish in many years and brought the word “excitement” back into the majors on Sunday.
YE looks like a miniture Tiger Woods in many ways. He’s got a great golf swing and has a mental game based on two key ingredients: courage and believe in self.
I am so glad to see a player step up to the plate and say: I can do this why not. Just play golf and play my own game. Tiger’s great but so am I.
This did more for the game of golf here –especially internationally golf –with Yang becoming the first male Asian golfer to win a major here in America. Just like “Tiger mania” in 1997 with Woods winning the Masters, now Yang is the “mania” for many Asian young players to follow, play more golf and play professionally.
Way to go YE Yang and thanks for a great Sunday showing of golf’s best major of the 2009 season and year!
Perhaps we”ll see Tiger and Yang go mano to mano at the President’s Cup next month in San Francisco here in the President’s Cup. That would be a great rematch wouldn’t it.
For all you golfers out there, YE Yang’s SECRET has to do with his great sense of balance and ability to rotate his trunk and the swinging club head in superb timing. A lot like Tiger hey.
Talk soon! Bob Cisco,
