The PGA Championship

At the 91st PGA Championship, Yong-Eun Yang, juiced up the season's final major by establishing a historic milestone at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., a course known for surprise finishes and delivering the biggest shocker of them all – chasing down, outplaying and topping Tiger Woods on a Sunday. In doing so, Yang became the first Asian-born male player to win one of golf's four major championships.

Trailing Woods by nine strokes after the fifth hole of his second round, the 37-year-old South Korean's record PGA Championship comeback wasn't complete until he drilled a 210-yard 3-hybrid approach at No. 18 that soared up and over a tree, cleared a greenside bunker and came to rest 12 feet from the flagstick.

Yang made that birdie putt for a 2-under-par 70, added a fist pump amidst the roar of a massive gallery, and posted an 8-under-par 280 total. That was good for a three-stroke triumph over Woods, whose closing 75 bore no resemblance to the same player who had taken a perfect 14-for-14 slate after sharing or holding alone the lead into the final round of a major.

Greg Bisconti, PGA assistant professional at The St. Andrew's Golf Club in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., turned in a 72-hole total of 301 to earn Low Club Professional honors. Click here for complete details.

The PGA Championship and its historic Wanamaker Trophy returns to Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis., Aug. 9-15, 2010, for the 92nd PGA Championship. The Straits Course, designed by Pete Dye and is ranked by Golf Digest as one of "America's 100 Greatest Courses", played host to the 86th PGA Championship, won by Vijay Singh in 2004.

The PGA Championship has been a perennial leader among Major Championships by hosting the most world-ranked players in the world's strongest field. The 2009 PGA Championship featured a PGA Championship-record 69 international players, representing 21 countries, and 97 of the top 100 world-ranked players – just one ranked player shy of the mark set in the 2002 Championship.
