The craziest part is that Y.E Yang started learning golf at the age 19 while Tiger Woods participated in his first Masters at the age of 19.
Cool story. Great win for Yang.
.. and a month later the Goliath of tennis was taken down by Juan Martin del Potro at the US Open (after he'd won FIVE straight Open titles) .. golf and tennis had their respective versions of Tyson-Douglas within weeks of each other 👊
I remember thinking Tiger lost this one on Day 3. The course was there for the taking and he didn't increase his lead big enough. He played not to lose and it bit him in the ass.
I reckon this affected Woods in Majors far more than the personal nonsense later that year - he didn't win another one until 2019 after all.
You might be right..however I feel the opposite..I think this was only a small blemish that he effect him very little..but the scandal on top of this is what really messed him up mentally bc remember he went undefeated in the Presidents cup in the fall so he was still playing great and he won a tourney in Australia as well
@@DTB1995Hi, thanks for replying.
As you'll know, losing to Yang was the first time Woods didn't win after leading after 3 rounds.
But of course your view may be the truth or more close to it than my hunch, only Woods knows. It's interesting that recently attention seem to has gone to how he changed his body when nonsensically trying to make himself as tough as a Navy SEAL, and many people now think that his many injuries derived from the training that he went through, in his 30s (!) to try to do that.
(Terrible about his crash of course, I was surprised he didn't send a video message at the Masters, but there you go, his choice.)
Also i think that: entering to the 2010's, golf's became more competitive than ever: Tiger Woods was a true eclosion in golf. A game changer who started a revolution in golf. So eventually, we started to see his long term side effects on this game:
Better college training. More competitive amateur tours. Nutrition and fitness finally really matters for the first time on this game.
I guess that we will never see someone so dominant than Tiger. Names like Koepka, McIlroy, Rahm could finish their careers with a good amount of Majors (Mickelson already there). But 15 Majors victories? No way. Golf is different today.
This one, the two this year a Master's and couple Opens played he'd be at Jack's total's so he done ok ,So far..
He should get to 20 Majors
#threetimeAm champ
Caddie should move to Korea he'd be a god
Still hurts
I love Y.E. Yang. Woods was such an arrogant prick in those days. Tiger was never the same after Yang punked him.
And what happened last year at Augusta?
You’re right, this needed to happen
@@bradquinn4500 Tiger was gifted that championship on a silver platter from Molinari..sure he played well for a week and deserved the win but he wasnt in top form..without Molinaris screw up it wouldnt have happened
@@DTB1995 and the 100 other players in the field werent? Ok bud
he really wasn’t the same i could write a whole paper on how this pga championship was the real catalyst to his downfall, more so than the scandal and the injuries even
Aside from Tiger not wining, the Y E S thing still makes me cringe
“Tiger nervous.” Hahahahaha!!!
This is the one that he regrets and leaves a stain on a mind blowing career.
Sad how this foreshadowed his imminent downfall. Thankfully, he redeemed himself TWICE and has the most PGA wins in history!
@@CCROGGY He doesn't have the most..he's tied for the most
A damn hybrid
This is the time when dragon got slayed
And 7 years prior, Tiger bogeys 14, birdies the last 4 and loses by 1 to Rich Beem on same course. Hazeltine stole a couple, he should have 7 PGAs
hope he started a trend, lifting that bag
Here after Matsuyama's win!
Definitely a major I want to forget :(
Matterrock1 why? It was a historic win for Y.E Yang
@@sebm1 Tiger was my favorite athlete when I was a kid, but he was never the same after this.
His one day of glory , what has he done since?
Exactly, he has done nothing
@@bradquinn4500 beating Tiger in his own game. A classic story of David v. Goliath. Not too many golfers can brag about that.
i’m a huge tiger fan but this type of shit is unnecessary, it was a great win and even though i hate that tiger lost yang deserved it
I can understand making this kind of comment if the title was "Y.E. Yang is the greatest ever because he beat Woods" bla bla. But no such claim is being made so just relax - your boy is still great. He just proved he is not infallible even with a lead after 54 holes. It really is extraordinary what happened. And Woods didn't give it away. Yang really earned this with clutch play, a little more clutch than Tiger. To be able to say that even once in your career is very cool, so there's no need to take it away from Yang. He never rubbed it in Tiger's face.
@@suzim9458 he gave young Korean golfers a reason to dream, high hopes for Tom Kim 😂 3 PGA tour wins more than most veterans on tour baby lfg
