    Description

    The
    2009 PGA Championship
    was the 91st
    PGA Championship
    , held August 13–16 at
    Hazeltine National Golf Club
    in
    Chaska, Minnesota
    , a suburb southwest of
    Minneapolis
    .
    Yang Yong-eun
    , more commonly referred to as "Y.E. Yang" in the U.S., won his first
    major
    title, three strokes ahead of runner-up
    Tiger Woods
    , a four-time champion. It marked the first time that Woods had failed to win a major he had led after 54 holes. Yang also became the first
    Asian
    -born player to win a men's major championship (although the third of Asian descent, after
    Vijay Singh
    and Woods).
