PGA Championship
Runner-up: Tiger Woods
Y.E. Yang became the first Asian-born player to win a major championship, defeating Tiger Woods in a stunning final-round upset. Yang was paired with Woods on Sunday and played the shot of the day, a hybrid approach over the water to within 10 feet on the 14th hole. Yang had been in a similar position before but this time held his nerve to win by three shots, the first player ever to beat Woods in a major when both were in the final group.
