Yang, Klauk, Overton in Hunt at Honda Classic

In one of the more unknown final-round leaderboards you will ever see on the PGA Tour, Y.E. Yang tees off in about 15 minutes with a one-shot lead at the Honda Classic on Sunday.

Yang, paired with Jeff Klauk, leads his playing partner and Jeff Overton by one stroke after rounds of 68, 65, and 70 at the PGA National Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens.

I cannot say I am particularly intrigued with this week's final round, as the only real marquee name within shouting distance of the leaders is Rory Mcllroy, who is -2 today and -3 for the tournament, still four shots back after five holes.

With Tiger back at the CA Championship next weekend at Doral, I am, however, beaming with anticipation for the next Tour event which promises to be an awesome field and an exciting event.

Also, with the first major championship approaching rapidly — The Masters — there has never been a time like 2009 to get down to Augusta. Tickets are cheaper with the current state of the economy and even a practice round is worth attending, in my opinion.

Back tomorrow with thoughts from Sunday's final round and the upcoming week at the Blue Monster.
