tiger beaten by korean golfer

US golf star Tiger Woods has been beaten by South Korean golfer Yang Yong-Eun at Hazeltine.

In claiming victory against Woods, Yang, who has been number 110 in the world golf rankings, became the first Asian male winner of a major golf championship when he claimed the USPGA title.


37-year-old Yang’s achievement also brought to an end Woods’s run of success at having won all 14 of his major titles when he has been in the lead as the game went into the final round.

Woods had been hoping to claim a 15th major title as well as a USPGA title but he was unable to hold his own against his Korean opponent.

Yang had also been a winner at the Honda Classic at Riviera earlier this year.

English golf star Lee Westwood and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy shared third position.
