Tiger Woods opened up the world of golf to a traditionally non-golf audience, but Yang's victory will make a place already crazy for golf go ballistic now. Let us place this victory in proper perspective. Goliath beat up a lot of guys before David showed up and if not for some heavenly intervention Goliath would have whipped David too. Honestly, Yang could be great or we could never hear from him again. How many times has the media pumped up a guy as a legit Tiger challenger only to see the person fold up like a cheap tent in an F-5 Tornado when facing Woods. The scary part is when Tiger loses he is visibly upset and he does everything he can to win the next go round. 

Another thought is Tiger's ascension to golf greatness has gone pretty much unchallenged. Phil Mickelson has proven himself an unworthy challenger thus far and Sergio Garcia is still without a major even though he showed early promise. Maybe Tiger's real competition rises in the east? For Tiger this has been a bad year although any other golfer would gladly take it especially after a surgery. He was shut out of the majors but he will still be the golfer of the year without a doubt.

Even with Yang's excellent play we are still waiting for someone to consistently match Tiger in big tourneys shot for shot. Let's face it, Tiger has only been playing against history for the past few years so bringing him back to earth might bring back Tiger's "A" game.
