Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 15, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Yang Yong-eun! The man who made golf history by taming Tiger Woods at the 2009 PGA Championship—proving once and for all that even Tigers can be outplayed. Your legendary victory still inspires weekend golfers everywhere to dream big (and occasionally blame their clubs).

And let's not forget your impressive run at the 2011 U.S. Open, finishing third and reminding everyone you're no one-hit wonder. May your drives stay straight, your putts roll true, and may you always celebrate birthdays with fewer strokes than candles on the cake! Here's to another year of fairways, greens—and plenty of laughs.
