Y.E. Yang beat the odds by overcoming Tiger Woods on the final day of the PGA Championship, NBC Sports reports. The South Korean won today with an 8-under 280, topping Woods by three strokes with the help of a stunning eagle chip-in on the 14th hole. Woods was the first four-time PGA winner to lose after leading going into the final round, but Yang denied feeling any nerves: "I try to master the art of controlling my emotions," he said through a translator after the victory.
