On the 22nd (local time), he shot a 1-under-par 71 in the final third round of the PGA Tour Champions (Senior Tour) Dominion Energy Charity Classic (total prize money $2.2 million) held at The Country Club of Virginia (par 72) in Richmond, Virginia, USA, finishing tied for 4th place (9-under-par 207).

Starting tied for 2nd place by one stroke, Yang made five birdies, one bogey, and one triple bogey. He gained momentum with birdies on holes 1 and 2 but collapsed with a triple bogey on the 4th hole (par 3). After birdies on holes 5 and 12, he made a bogey on the 13th hole (par 4) and a birdie on the 16th hole (par 5) to finish the round. His green in regulation rate was only 50%, making it difficult to create birdie opportunities. Although Yang has yet to win on the Senior Tour, he continues to show stable performance, ranking within the top 10 in the money list.

Harrison Fraser (USA) reduced three strokes to tie with Richard Green (Australia) at 11-under-par 205, then secured the ‘winning birdie’ on the first hole of the playoff resumed at the 18th hole (par 5). Fraser has one win on the PGA Tour and one win on the Senior Tour. Korea’s K.J. Choi finished the tournament tied for 16th place (4-under-par 212) with a strong finish of 3-under-par. Wi Chang-su finished tied for 25th place (1-under-par 215).
