Well I'm just bowled over by your compliments. Thank you very much. And you'll be on the show again - and not because you wrote such nice things about me :)

YE Yang - His second win over Tiger Woods
I am very happy to see YE Yang win the PGA Championship and sorry Tiger Woods lost.

They’ve been head to head before. In 2006, at the HSBC Champions, Yang beat Woods. Woods came in second. It was a heated battle.

But we tend to look at our little world, the United States, as the center of the universe and therefore anything that happens outside the center, doesn’t really count as much.

Yang was described all day as an “unknown”. He’s not an unknown, not where I live. I live in the United States in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where we see a lot more talented players coming from Asia to play here before taking the leap to the US mainland. It’s a long expensive flight.

Ryo Ishikawa was playing in Hawaii and winning in Japan before he was embraced by the golf paparazzi in the U.S.

I was criticized today for saying Yang won the Major and Woods lost it on the greens. Like I was vile for trying to take something away from Yang, belittling his victory. That’s how little that someone knows me.

Yang played his game. He’s powerful and determined. He’s beat Tiger before. Beat him on an exquisite golf course in China designed by one of our best architects.

I’ve been talking about the importance of golf becoming a global game before this industry realized it was in trouble and needed to think globally.
I was the one who posed, how did the reporters who heard it, put it – “The China question” – to Jack Nicklaus before getting golf back in the Olympics became the mission.

You want to get upset about people analyzing the outcome, going over the game of the two players in the final round who were battling for the victory? Maybe you should be in the media room a bit more often when players dissect their own game. It’s par for the course.

A thorn in Tigers side? No, just a loss after two victories in a row. I don’t think he’ll be “damaged goods” after this.

Hooray for YE Yang.
