Yang Yong-Eun

South Korean Yang Yong-Eun became Asia's first male major winner after overhauling Tiger Woods in stunning fashion, to clinch the US PGA Championship by three shots on Sunday, 16 August 2009.

Trailing world number one and overwhelming the crowd's favourite Woods by two strokes overnight, 37-year-old Yang, ranked 110th in the world, kept his composure in difficult, swirling winds at Hazeltine National to fire a two-under-par 70.

For the uninitiated, what it basically means is Yang is the first Asian, ever, to beat all time champs Tiger Woods.

And why are we talking about him, since this site isn't even about golf?

When interviewed, Yang further mentioned that his ambition is really to be a bodybuilder. However, that dream did not manifest, after he got into a serious injury which only meant staying away from the weights. However by a stroke of his clubs, he started hitting the range and the rest as they say is history.



If you are to look at Yang, you could tell by his build that he was serious about his bodybuilding dream. Check out those forearms. Definitely a bodybuilder in the making.

Which brings me to highlight that koreans, whose interests are muscles and bodybuilding, tend to grow really massive and huge. Did I mention they are hard and taut too, around the mid-section? Nothing like our big, oversized, tyres-for-a-waist locals here, who have no self-discipline when it comes to their diet. Muscle building is more than just about hitting the weights. Diet also plays an important role in your quest to beef up.
