Yang gets breakthrough at Honda Classic
The Associated Press
Y.E. Yang has his first PGA Tour win, closing out a one-shot
victory Sunday over John Rollins at the Honda Classic.
The South Korean took
command with three straight birdies on the front side and wouldn't fold, picking
up a two-year exemption and a check for $1,008,000. With the win, he qualified
for next week's CA Championship at Doral, plus earned an invitation to next
month's Masters.
Best known for beating Tiger Woods at the HSBC Champions in
2006, Yang shot a 2-under 68 in the final round, finishing the tournament at
9 under.
Yang played last year's final round at PGA National by himself,
going off first, completing 18 holes in just under two hours and leaving long
before any of the other 76 players.
He was there until the very end this time.
