Yang rattles Tiger’s cage

PADRÁIG HARRINTON will never forget the day that YE Yang became the first Asian-born golfer to win a major with a supreme US PGA victory at Hazeltine National last night.

It wasn’t that the 37-year old Korean birdied the last for a 70 to beat a wobbling Tiger Woods by an incredible three shots on eight under par but the almost unbelievable quintuple bogey eight that the Dubliner racked up on the par-three eighth to see his hopes of a fourth major title sink without trace.

Two visits to the green side pond at the 167-yard par three – in the land of 10,000 lakes – will be Harrington’s legacy here.
