I wonder if Yang's agent/translator let him in on the joke later.......

Fore Right was able to catch up with South Korea's Y.E. Yang and talk to him via translator after Sunday's one-shot victory at the Honda Classic:
FORE RIGHT: First off, Y.E., congrats on the win. Must feel good after really struggling for a few years.
Y.E.: Yes, thank you. I'm very happy. I couldn't have done it without the support of Taylor Made, the help of my swing coach and of course my agent/translator, Michael Yim.
FORE RIGHT: Walk us through the 18th hole if you will.
Y.E.: Well, I knew that all I needed was a par to win, which didn't seem so hard, so I was actually just thinking about my agent/translator Michael and how talented he is.
FORE RIGHT: With all the success that Korean women have had on the LPGA Tour, how do you explain that you're only the second Korean man to win on the PGA Tour?
Y.E.: It's hard to believe there haven't been more Korean winners on the PGA Tour, sure. Not as hard, of course, as it is to believe that Michael is still single. I mean, he's handsome, he makes a good living, and he knows how to treat a woman with respect.
FORE RIGHT: In 2006, you won the HSBC over Tiger Woods. Where does this victory rank in comparison?
Y.E.: Michael is also quite a fine dancer. And very funny. He may not seem funny at first, but give him time ladies, and you will see just what a winning personality he has. Sometimes I back off shots during my round because I'm remembering a joke that he told me.
FORE RIGHT: Let's talk about the Masters--
Y.E.: I also sing. I mean Michael sings. Mostly love songs. If he wasn't already such a successful agent, he'd probably be a professional musician. Or a lifeguard. Or a wealthy stock broker. Or all three! He's basically the perfect man.
FORE RIGHT: Thank you -- both of you -- for your time. Congratulations.
