The **2009 PGA Championship** was the 91st [PGA Championship](/source/PGA_Championship), held August 13–16 at [Hazeltine National Golf Club](/source/Hazeltine_National_Golf_Club) in [Chaska, Minnesota](/source/Chaska%2C_Minnesota), a suburb southwest of [Minneapolis](/source/Minneapolis).

[Yang Yong-eun](/source/Yang_Yong-eun), more commonly referred to as "Y.E. Yang" in the U.S., won his only [major](/source/Men's_major_golf_championships) title, three strokes ahead of runner-up [Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods), a four-time champion. It marked the first (and only) time that Woods had failed to win a major he had led after 54 holes. Yang also became the first [Asian](/source/Asia)-born player to win a men's major championship (although the third of Asian descent, after [Vijay Singh](/source/Vijay_Singh) and Woods).[2]

It was the fourth major championship held at the course; it previously hosted the PGA Championship in [2002](/source/2002_PGA_Championship), won by [Rich Beem](/source/Rich_Beem), and two [U.S. Opens](/source/U.S._Open_(golf)) ([1970](/source/1970_U.S._Open_(golf)), [1991](/source/1991_U.S._Open_(golf))). The 2009 course was the longest up to that time for a major at 7,674 yards (7,017 m) (the [2012](/source/2012_PGA_Championship) and [2021 PGA Championships](/source/2021_PGA_Championship) and [2017 U.S. Open](/source/2017_U.S._Open_(golf)) all surpassed it). The average [elevation](/source/Elevation) of the course is approximately 940 feet (287 m) [above sea level](/source/Sea_level).[3]

## Round summaries

### First round

*Thursday, August 13, 2009*

[Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods) had the outright lead after a 67 on the first round, which included 5 birdies and no bogeys. Defending champion [Pádraig Harrington](/source/P%C3%A1draig_Harrington), who played in the same group as Woods, was in second place after a 68. [David Toms](/source/David_Toms), [2001](/source/2001_PGA_Championship) champion, also started well. He made many long birdie putts and par saves to shoot a 69, placing him in a group of six tied for third place that also included two-time champion [Vijay Singh](/source/Vijay_Singh).[12] World number two [Phil Mickelson](/source/Phil_Mickelson) struggled slightly, shooting a 2-over par 74. [John Daly](/source/John_Daly_(golfer)), [1991](/source/1991_PGA_Championship) champion, withdrew after posting a 78, citing a back injury.[13]

### Second round

*Friday, August 14, 2009*

[Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods) broke away from the pack with a run of three straight birdies on the back nine, finishing the round with a four-shot lead. It is his largest margin after two rounds at a major since the [2005 British Open](/source/2005_Open_Championship) at [St Andrews](/source/Old_Course_at_St_Andrews), when he led by five.[14] Conditions on the second day were tough, with strong winds playing with putts and uneven greens.[14] [Vijay Singh](/source/Vijay_Singh), [Lucas Glover](/source/Lucas_Glover) and [Brendan Jones](/source/Brendan_Jones_(golfer)), who moved up the leaderboard into second place, all played in the morning. The other two in the group tied for second place, [Pádraig Harrington](/source/P%C3%A1draig_Harrington) and [Ross Fisher](/source/Ross_Fisher), had to cope with the fierce afternoon winds.[14]

### Third round

*Saturday, August 15, 2009*

[Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods) played a safe round, avoiding throwing away shots. His lead was halved to two shots over [Pádraig Harrington](/source/P%C3%A1draig_Harrington) and 2009 [Honda Classic](/source/Honda_Classic) winner [Yang Yong-eun](/source/Yang_Yong-eun).[15] [Henrik Stenson](/source/Henrik_Stenson), winner of that year's [Players Championship](/source/The_Players_Championship), scored a round of 68 and was tied for fourth place along with [U.S. Open](/source/2009_U.S._Open_Golf_Championship) champion [Lucas Glover](/source/Lucas_Glover).[15] [Ernie Els](/source/Ernie_Els) was as close as one shot from the lead but finished with three straight bogeys.[15]

Place Player Score To par 1 Tiger Woods 67-70-71=208 −8 T2 Pádraig Harrington 68-73-69=210 −6 Yang Yong-eun 73-70-67=210 T4 Lucas Glover 71-70-71=212 −4 Henrik Stenson 73-71-68=212 T6 Ernie Els 75-68-70=213 −3 Søren Kjeldsen 70-73-70=213 T8 Ross Fisher 73-68-73=214 −2 Brendan Jones 71-70-73=214 Martin Kaymer 73-70-71=214 Álvaro Quirós 69-76-69=214 John Rollins 73-73-68=214

### Final round

*Sunday, August 16, 2009*

Struggling with his putting all day, [Tiger Woods](/source/Tiger_Woods) was in jeopardy of losing a major for the first (and only) time when leading after 54 holes. The only player who was able to take advantage of this was Woods' playing partner, [Yang Yong-eun](/source/Yang_Yong-eun). Defending champion [Pádraig Harrington](/source/P%C3%A1draig_Harrington) was in contention early, but made a quintuple-bogey 8 on the par-3 8th, causing him to fall from tied for 2nd to tied for 10th. Lucas Glover also reached contention, but faded with 4 bogeys in a span of 7 holes. Tied on the short par-4 14th, Yang chipped in for eagle from just off the green. The eagle gave Yang the lead which he did not relinquish. Yang sealed the victory by drawing a 210-yard (192 m) approach around a tree to within ten feet (3.0 m) on the final hole, setting up a birdie against Woods' closing bogey and a winning margin of three strokes.[16][17]
