"The Wind Man" Yang Yong-eun entered the "Top 10" in a major tournament.

On the 2nd (local time), Yang Yong-eun finished tied for 9th place (even par 284) in the final 4th round of the 43rd US Senior Open (total prize money $4 million), part of the PGA Champions (Senior) Tour, held at SentryWorld Golf Club (par 71, 7,218 yards) in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, USA. Following a 9th place finish at last week's DICK'S Sporting Goods Open, this marks his 5th "Top 10" finish this season. His best individual result on the Champions Tour is runner-up at the Ascension Charity Classic last September.

Starting tied for 4th place, 5 strokes behind the leader, Yang recorded 4 birdies, 1 bogey, and 2 double bogeys. Although he started shakily with a double bogey on the 1st hole (par 4), he gained momentum with birdies on holes 5, 8, 11, and 13. However, it was disappointing that he made a double bogey on the 17th hole followed by a bogey on the final 18th hole (both par 4). He struggled with a fairway hit rate of 57.14% and a greens in regulation rate of only 50%.

Bernhard Langer (Germany) added 1 under par to secure a 2-stroke victory (7 under par 277). At the age of 65 years and 10 months, this was his 46th career win, with a winner's prize of $720,000 (approximately 950 million KRW). Langer surpassed Hale Irwin (USA) by one win to become the all-time leader in Champions Tour victories. He also holds the record for the most major championship wins on the tour with 12.

Steve Stricker finished 2nd (5 under par 279), and Jerry Kelly (both USA) performed well in 3rd place (4 under par 280). The "eldest brother" Choi Kyung-ju recorded 4 birdies and 3 bogeys to reduce 1 stroke, finishing 11th (1 over par 285). Ernie Els (South Africa) tied for 12th (3 over par 287), Miguel ?ngel Jim?nez (Spain) tied for 14th (4 over par 288), and Vijay Singh (Fiji) finished tied for 18th (6 over par 290).
