Yong Eun Yang was born on January 25th, 1972 in Korea. He plays on the PGA Tour after winning his card at Q-School in 2007. Yang has won four tournaments on the Japanese Tour and won the HSBC Champions event in Shanghai which included Tiger Woods in the field.

This was a massive breakthrough for Yang who went into the final round a shot behind Retief Goosen. Yang has made several appearance in major championships with little success. It will be interesting to see what kind of impact Yang can make in America.
