LPGA golf star Danielle Kang is competing in the 77th U.S. Women’s Open this weekend with plenty on her mind.
Lingering back pain that she’s been dealing with for months took a turn in April when she found out that she has a tumor on her spine.
Kang confirmed reports of the ailment when speaking with reporters on Friday afternoon.
“I don’t really have the answers now,” Kang said when asked if the tumor was benign.
She was told by doctors that she wouldn’t be able to play in this weekend’s major, but defied the odds despite and played through pain.
