• Vote: What does Sunday's final round portend for Y.E. Yang and Tiger Woods?

Who knew there was a golfer out there capable of challenging Tiger Woods? No, not during the final round of a major. That had to happen eventually, right? We're talking about a golfer who could challenge Woods as an inspiration for headline writers and broadcasters to explore new depths of punning (we're looking your way, Mr. Butler Cabin).

SportsNation respects Y.E. Yang's accomplishment in coming from behind to beat Woods Sunday in the PGA Championship. Roughly a third of voters even think the heretofore unknown pro will win another major, which is better than Lucas Glover fared after winning the U.S. Open. But to some degree, the tournament is as much about Woods losing as Yang winning. And if you think that's unfair to the apparently affable South Korean who lifted his bag like it was the Stanley Cup in triumph, well, you probably have a point. If you think it's a media creation, you just have your head in the sand.

Before the tournament, 63 percent of SportsNation said Woods' season would be a success with or without a major title. But that obviously didn't factor in what many will see as a collapse on Sunday. So will popular opinion on Woods' dominance fade? Don't count on it.

• Only 36 percent of SportsNation believes Woods' inevitable decline has begun.
• More than 50 percent of SportsNation predicts at least two majors for Woods in 2010.
• Most voters enjoyed Tom Watson's British run more than Yang's PGA upset.

Sigh its reasons like this why golf loses the little crediblity it has. Your championship, or should i say one of is won by some guy named yang who i imagine even in people in the know have at best a passing familiarity with. Cmon that would be like the 2009 San Diego Padres winning the World Series, or the current Detriot lions winning the superbowl. And no this yang wont win another championship let alone probably another pga tournmanet.
