Sunday Was A Good Day.....

.....for Koreans in sports.

There was a golf sweep, a soccer goal, and then a tremendous baseball victory.

Korean native Y.E. Yang won the Honda Classic for his first PGA win yesterday. He faltered a little down the stretch but was able to hold on with a key 2 putt on the last hole for a 1 shot victory. It was the first PGA win for the 37 year old but he's won several times in the past on the Japan and European Tours. The win also qualified him for the Masters this year.

Then 20 year old phenom Shin Ji Yai won the HSBC Women's Championship in Singapore. She's a rookie this year but she's already won 3 times last year, including a major tournament.

Park Ji Sung, a midfielder for Manchester United, scored a goal in the closing minutes of their match against Fulham in the FA Cup playoffs, helping to secure a place in the semifinals. On a team of superstars, it's nice to see the Korean boy make his mark.

The highlight was the Korean baseball team in the World Baseball Classic. After suffering a humiliating loss to Japan 14-2 a few days ago, they bounced back blank China 14-0 and then got their revenge on Japan last night, defeating them 1-0. Korea and Japan both move on to Round 2.
