Sports: HOLY CRAP! Tiger Woods lost in the final round of a major

  • Y.E. Yang is the first Asian to win a major. The PGA Championship had some pretty impressive final-round fireworks, thanks to the showdown between Woods and Yang, the kind of showdown Woods usually wins by accident. Except he didn’t win this time, breaking his final-round streak. Maybe the media will learn not to be so biased in favor of Woods now that he’s had a year without a major. source

Sports: Golfer John Daly is freaking out, doesn’t think he has it anymore

  • The last two weeks have been
    the first time in my career I didn’t think I could win. I don’t have
    the feel I used to have. I don’t have the confidence. I just don’t have it.
  • John Daly • Describing his frustration with golfing after getting an 88 at the 2009 Buick Open this week. “I tried my [tail] off and shot 88,” he said. “I’ve thrown in the towel and shot 82 when I quit. But I didn’t quit this time. It was a weird feeling.” Daly is described to be out of sorts by his swing coach, who says he hasn’t slept and is barely eating after getting lap-band surgery four months ago. Daly has lost 80 pounds due to the surgery, which has taken away some of his ability to hit the ball. • source
