Hazeltine (Minnesota), Aug 17 - Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh slipped down the leaderboard with a disappointing six-over 78 and to a lowly 67th place, but South Korean star Y.E. Yang upstaged Tiger Woods to become the first Asian to win a Major, when he grabbed the 91st PGA Championships.
Jeev, who had eight bogeys and one double against four birdies, finished at 11-over 299 here Sunday. His score was same as British Open champion Stewart Cink (81) and Phil Mickelson (76) and Rory Sabbatini, who is in contention with Jeev for a place in President's Cup.
It was a roller-coaster of a day with just five pars, three birdies, eight bogeys and one double bogey as Jeev never did manage to settle down.
Meanwhile Yang, who was tied with defending champion Padraig Harrington going into the final round and two shots behind Tiger Woods, scripted an amazing story with a brilliant final round of 70 that was five shots better than the World No. 1.
Woods had never before lost in a Major when going into the final round with the lead. But Yang, who had won the 2007 HSBC Champions ahead of Tiger in Shanghai, played superbly to finish at eight-under 280.
