Yang, 37, also became the first Asian-born player to win a major and he denied the world number one a 15th such victory, the American having previously enjoyed a perfect record in turning 14 third-round major leads into wins.

World number 110 Yang, with just one previous win in the United States to his name, landed his second in style, first overturning a two-shot lead and then eagling the par-four 14th hole to move in front before holding his nerve down the stretch to seal victory at seven under par with a two-under round of 70.

Woods came up short by three shots, taking a 75 for second place, with Lee Westwood of England and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy tied for third place at three under.
