Y.E. Yang, the little-known golfer who won the Honda Classic earlier this year, hit the shot of his life on the 18th hole — after hitting the other shot of his life on the 14th hole — to win his first major championship over a man that treats major leads like an obese man handles a salami sandwich.
He’s the first Asian-born player to ever win a major, and he did it in a style that had even the most random sports fans rooting for a man they didn’t even know existed on Thursday. The question people will be asking is, how did he do it?
Standing in the fairway, needing only a par to win, Yang hit a towering shot that landed just two feet in front of the pin, checked liked a titleist ap2 irons, and led to only his second birdie of the day.
