It finally happened. Tiger Woods blew a lead after 54 holes at a major for the first time in his career. He failed, he folded, he fell apart, and like everything else he does, Tiger did it spectacularly. To put it another way: Tiger Woods pulled a Phil Mickelson. Woods blitzed the first three days of [...]

PGA Championship draws 7.5/17 overnight on Sunday.

.nobrtable br { display: none }Tiger Woods did not win the season's final major, but once again his presence resulted in big ratings.Final round coverage of the PGA Championship, won by Y.E. Yang with Woods finishing second, drew a 7.5/17 overnight rating on CBS Sunday -- up a whopping 150% from last year's 3.0/6, up 10% from a 6.8/15 in '07, and the highest overnight...

Inevitable

Not that Y.E. Yang would do it, but, one would think, that eventually Tiger Woods would get caught on a Sunday of a major that he led after 54 holes (Woods now 14 for 15 in such situations). That time came yesterday, when, finally, the player walking the course in the last group with Tiger [...]

Um, Guys? What Just Happened?

Tiger Woods. Is. Unstoppable. This is one of those things we just know, like that the Cubs aren’t going to win it all this year and that barbeque should be eaten with Shiner Bock, and that if you give a mouse a cookie, he will want a glass of… ok, sorry. It’s Monday, we’re distracted. Of course, as [...]

Woods leads PGA Championship by two

Tiger Woods shot a one-under par, 71, at Hazeltine National Golf Club to lead the PGA Championship by two shots heading into the final round.  Padraig Harrington and Y. E. Yang are tied for second. Woods didn’t have the best putting game but played well enough, making birdies on the second and 14th holes with a [...]

Y.E. Yang Stuns Tiger At PGA

Y.E. Yang did what had never been done, coming from behind on Sunday to stun Tiger Woods. The jaw-dropping finale ranks with the greatest upsets in history, writes Gary Van Sickle.

The Crouching Tiger That Never Pounced: Tiger Presses To No Avail

After Tiger Woods hit his approach into the first green today at Hazeltine National Golf Club, it was safe to say many would have given him the Wanamaker Trophy right then and there. Honestly, the vast majority would have given him the trophy after Thursday or Friday's round. However, Y.E. Yang and Tiger's own Scotty Cameron putter had other plans. Through the immense pressure...

Elling: Yang, just an 'average Joe,' does unthinkable

In one of the biggest upsets in a major, South Korea's Y.E. Yang defeats Tiger Woods by three strokes to win the PGA. Yang, who scores an eagle on 14 to take the lead for good, does the unthinkable, Steve Elling says.

Yes indeed, Tiger Woods is human after all

The Mystery of Putts

A few years back, I first wrote how Tiger Woods had done something that no other golfer — not Nicklaus or Hogan or Jones or Watson — had ever done. He had made golf look easy. And by easy, I don’t mean effortless — though, of course, Tiger can make golf look effortless. I mean [...]

2009 PGA Championship, Third Round: Door Ajar

We all know the numbers.  They tell a tale of certainty, of an outcome already decided.  Tiger Woods is 4-for-4 in majors when leading after the first round.  He is 8-for-8 when leading after the second round.  He is 14-for-14 when leading after the third round. With a five-shot lead heading into the day, it looked like the weekend gameplan for Woods was to run...

Y.E. Yang Wins PGA Championship, Tiger Doesn’t

This golf tournament was definitely the most exciting Major we’ve seen this year.  As we said yesterday, we thought Tiger was going to run away and hide, leaving us with an anti-climatic finish.  It was anything but that.  For the first time in his career, Tiger Woods relinquished the lead in a Major Championship when [...]

Tiger being Tyson?

Veteran sportswriters love golf. I don’t know what it is, but every Sunday following a Major, every scribe over 50 in the country suddenly becomes Mark Sanford and starts writing about golf as though it were their Argentinean soul mate. For that reason, I’m going to leave it to the Mike Lupica’s and Rick Reilly’s (you’ll have to wait until Wednesday for Mr. Reilly) of...

Moving Day at Hazeltine

by Shane BaconFiled under: PGA ChampionshipSaturday is legendarily called "moving day," because it's the day that the leaderboard shifts to who really has a chance to win a major championship. At the PGA Championship in 2009, if history has anything to say about it, moving day will just be how many shots Tiger Woods will lead by come Sunday morning.All throughout the third round...
