| South African Retief Goosen tied for third with Michael Campbell. | |
| Woods, who was two shots off the lead at the halfway point after a second-round 64, said his wayward 73 in windy conditions on Saturday had cost him his chance of victory. | |
| "I wasn't quite good enough," Woods said. "Yesterday just killed me. | |
| "I was so far back and Yang just played a great stretch of holes and just put it out of reach for all of us that were six or seven under trying to make a run at him." | |
| Yang was one behind Goosen starting the final day. | |
| He birdied the second hole and then finished the front nine with a four-under-par 32 after another three in a row. | |
| He led the field by four strokes before hitting bogeys on the 16th and 17th, but held on to sink an eight-foot par putt on the 18th. | |
| Campbell, who was 19th overnight, equalled the course record hit by Woods and Henrik Stenson on Friday to rise up the leaderboard. |
