Y.E. Yang

Y.E. Yang nabbed one of the largest upsets in the golfing world at this year's PGA Championship by defeating Tiger Woods in a head to head battle.  This marked the first time Woods had been defeated in a major after holding the 54-hole lead.  Yang overflows with nothing but excitement and emotion on the course as we witnessed at the PGA Championship. He has had a great 2009 which also includes a win at the Honda Classic. This will be Yang's first opportunity to participate in the FedEx Cup playoffs. He looks to be playing the best golf of his life right now; we will see if he can continue his run into the playoffs.
