Here is video of Tiger Woods reacting to his loss to South Korea's YE Yang in the 2009 PGA Championship. Woods essentially said he lost the tournament because he did not make the putts going down the stretch. It was the first time Woods had lost a Major Tournament when leading after three rounds. Yang made two incredible shots down the stretch to beat Woods by three strokes. . . . . (Watch Video)

Tiger is human...who knew?
Thats the beauty of golf....any given day. I have a feeling Tiger will be okay (understatement of the year).
Now Tim Tebow on the other hand..... ;)
Tiger is a great sportsman, that is one of the reasons I catch him on TV whenever I can. Hope he can gets his putt back.
Have to give it to Yang. That hybrid iron on the 18th was some pressure shot. How many would have choked playing with Tiger in that situation? He wasn’t going to be denied. Mucho congrats to Yang.
No putting dweeb was finally exposed. I’ve said for years that if Tiger putted like me, nobody would have ever even heard of the guy.
Tim Tebow is just fine regardless. Just use your favorite search engine and type in “Tim Tebow Girlfriend”.
Evidently the PGA is a racist event, put on by racist sponsors, attended by racist fans and broadcast by racist networks. How else could he have lost. Holder will undoubtedly demand the title be awarded to Woods, due to racism.
Tiger appears to have muscled up. Has anyone attributed this to his putting woes?
That forced him to try to make those superhuman-type putts he often makes. But you cannot win when you have to do that on almost every hole. He did miss a couple of easy ones, though.
Nobody can win em’ all
After round 2 (or 3) some reporter asked Tiger if he’s ever choked in a tourney.
The question seemed to really get to him since he refused to answer rather just shook his head.
LOL! You're right, Tiger's a hack and he has finally been exposed.
* Woods has won 70 official PGA Tour events, third all time behind Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus.* Woods has won 14 majors, second all time, behind Jack Nicklaus.
* Woods is 14-1 when going into the final round of a major with at least a share of the lead.
* Woods owns the lowest career scoring average and the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history.
* Woods is one of five players (along with Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player) to have won all four professional major championships in his career, known as the Career Grand Slam, and was the youngest to do so.
* Woods is the only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row, accomplishing the feat in the 2000-2001 seasons. This feat became known as the "Tiger Slam".
* Woods set the all-time record for most consecutive cuts made, with 142. The streak started in 1998, he set the record at the 2003 Tour Championship with 114 (passing Byron Nelson's previous record of 113) and extended this mark to 142 before it ended on May 13, 2005 at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time, given the margin by which he broke the old record (and against stronger fields in terms of depth than those in Nelson's day) and given that during the streak, the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s.
* Woods has won a record 30% (70 out of 234) of his professional starts on the PGA Tour
It’s not so much choking, but in golf, there is always a good chance that one player out of the bunch will have a hot day, and on this day it was Yang. If not for his incredible day, we’d still be talking about a comfortable win for Tiger.
And even the greatest hitters in baseball still failed at the plate 60% of the time.
Unlike this out and out crybaby Kyle Busch at this past Saturday’s Nascar Nationwide Series race in Michigan...I am a new fan of Brian Vickers!!!

Hey,he’s human....which means,among other things,that he ain’t gonna win *every* time.
I’m a giant Tiger fan, and that was one of the most memorable tournaments I have ever watched. Yang was most impressive. That 3-hybrid shot, indeed, was as close to perfect as you can get. Yang’s last putt was also amazing.
Just holed it. I’m not sure Tiger has ever been in the position he was briefly in yesterday - where the tournament had been won, and his putt didn’t matter, but he had to do it anyway.
Normally, it is somebody else in that position.
