Y. E. Yang beats Tiger in PGA Championship! This could be the greatest thing to happen to golf in Asia. Ever since golf exploded in Asia, Asian players have tried and tried to get the respect from the rest of the golfing world. This could be the win they have been waiting for. For the last several years Asian women have been almost dominating the LPGA Tour but the men have had a tougher time doing so. Don’t believe for one minute that Asia has not produced great players. Players like Jumbo Ozaki, Isao Aoki and K.J. Choi are proven winners on the PGA Tour and around the world. But the major championships have eluded them but no more. Will this open up the gates for many more? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure , this will light the fire for the continued growth of the game in all of the Asian countries.

Age is less and less an issue for golfers all around the world. From Tom Watson making his run for the British open this year to Greg Norman’s run Last year to Zhang Lianwei on the Asian tour. With the training methods of all golfers today players are staying competitive thru their 50′s and into their 60′s as with Hale Irwin. “It does not matter how old you are because if you are 20 and do not enjoy coming out to compete, you will not be successful. I’m still hitting the ball nicely,” said Zhang Lianwei the Chinese star. “At the end of the day, it all boils down to how determined you are to win. 51 year old Paul Surniak recently playing on the Omega china tour says “players today are just staying in better shape, I am a big believer in fitness” Paul Surniak was sponsored by Birdieball and culturefish media. Paul is a PGA Professional, six time long drive champion and has recently opened a golf academy in the Colorado springs area.

Lianwei: The desire to win is more important than your age.

As Tom Watson walked to the first tee on Sunday the world watched, hoping for the fairytale ending to one of the greatest golf championships in the world. Could he do the impossible? Could the oldest player in the field  win the oldest championship in golf? Just a couple of months shy of his 60th birthday, Tom Watson arguably the greatest links player of modern times was making history again. Going for his 6th open title and 9th major of his career.

But it was not to be, as difficult a day as it was and as well as he played, Stewart Cink comes out on top. Stewart won the championship, no one gave it to him. This open will be remembered for what might have been. One of the greatest performances by one of the games greatest gentleman.
