Yang Showed Us Tiger IS Human

Y.E. Yang. No one in the sports world have heard of this man from South Korea. The man who was ranked 11oth in the world in golf. The man now known as the one who defeated Tiger Woods in the final round of the PGA Championship yesterday by three shots! Yesterday was clearly and obviously the biggest day in Yang's career as a professional golfer. He showed the world that Tiger Woods, the best golfer in the world, is still human. Tiger has an uncanny skill in the game of golf but even Tiger has his off days. Tiger struggled in his putting game yesterday allowing Mr. Yang to take and hold the lead. For you Tiger fans out there, don't hold your head down. Tiger will be back. Tiger is still the best in the world. Even though he lost yesterday, this is still very exciting.

Events like this give sports fans a reason to watch the game no matter what. If the overall best individual or team (based on record) is always supposed to win, then what is the point in watching the event? This is the reason why we play the game/round/series. Its because it gives anyone a chance. It gives the underdog the chance to have his/her day. I like Tiger alot and like many people my age he is the reason we started golfing. However, I am very excited to see that he can be beaten. It shows that he is not a machine and that he is in fact human. Tiger is also a perfect example of someone who works very hard at their game or skill or job to make himself near perfect.

Yang should be inspiration to all of us as well. Look at what Yang did and remember that when you are facing something that is supposed to be better than you or in a situation where you are supposed to lose or fail. Sports are a nice microcosm of the real world. Sports show that it takes hard work and dedication and sometimes pain to achieve the ultimate goal you are after. Sports show us true emotions of happiness and joy to heart break and defeat. Tiger is a perfect example of someone who has perfected their craft and Yang is a perfect example of someone who never gave up and gave it his all. Please comment me on what you think. Agree? Disagree? Will love to hear. Peace!
