SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. -- Danielle Kang is not a morning person. The 2017 KPMG Women's PGA Championship winner really doesn't like having to wake up early. Lately, though, she has been left with no other choice.
Just over a month ago, Kang was diagnosed with a tumor on her spine, which she revealed after her second round Friday at the U.S. Women's Open at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club. Kang said that she had been having back pain for a while but that she never expected a tumor to be the problem.
"I don't want it to come across weird," Kang told ESPN after her third-round 73 on Saturday.
