Danielle Kang stars in dramatic LPGA return at Drive On Championship
The LPGA scripted a riveting storyline in its restart amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Danielle Kang stepped up in the starring role.
Conjuring memories of last year’s tense Solheim Cup finish in Scotland, Kang wrote a better ending for American fans, holding off a European while playing through cool, intermittent rain to win the Drive On Championship Sunday at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio.
Kang won after France’s Celine Boutier missed a 5-foot birdie attempt at the last, agonizingly grazing the left side of the cup.
Kang, 27, hoisted the trophy hoping the day’s thrills weren’t all over.
