Yang Yong-eun, who beat Tiger Woods (USA), the best golf star of the time, in a showdown on the final day of the 2009 PGA Championship and won his first PGA Tour title, beat the “legend” Langer, who has the oldest and most wins on the senior tour this time.
Yang Yong-eun is the second Korean player to win the PGA Tour Champions after Choi Kyung-ju, who won two major tournaments, including the Senior Open.
Yang Young-eun, who was tied for the lead with Stuart Sink of the U.S., cut four shots to the 16th hole, but fell one shot behind Sink with Langer.
On the 17th hole (par 4), Sink lost one stroke due to a tee shot mistake, and Yang Yong-eun took advantage of the 2-meter birdie opportunity to take the lead by one stroke.
However, Langer made a birdie on the 18th hole (par 4), and the game went to extra time.
After Langer’s 3-meter birdie putt slightly deflected the hole in the first overtime, Yang Yong-eun put in a birdie putt of about 2m to end the long game.
Langer, who is 67 years old and a month old, missed the opportunity to break the record of the oldest win (65 years, 10 months and 5 days) and extend the record of the most wins (46 wins) set at the U.S. Senior Open last year.
Sink shot a 4-under 65 to finish third at 12-under 201.
Wi Chang-soo tied for 51st (1 over par 214) and Choi tied for 60th (3 over par 216).
