Yep, you read that right. Woods lost a two-shot lead at the 91st PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club to a 37-year-old South Korean named Y.E. Yang, who shot a two-under-par 70 to Tiger's ragged 75.

And here's the funny thing: It's the best possible thing that could have happened to Woods.
We now appreciate all the more the 14 major championship victories, the 70 PGA Tour wins. You know how hard it is to win one major, let alone 14? You do now, courtesy of Tiger's lost weekend, which included 33 putts Sunday.

Tom Watson was asked at the British Open last month: If he went on to win the tournament, would that be the greatest golf achievement ever? Watson didn't hesitate. The greatest golf achievement, Tiger Woods winning the 2000 U.S. Open by 15 shots.

But we didn't appreciate that then. We took Tiger Woods for granted. We were so sure he was going to win this PGA that a U.K. bookmaker,it mistakenly paid out $2.1 million to Tiger-backers before he'd even teed off Saturday.
