Despite being second in the LPGA's Race to the CME Globe standings, it's been "tough" for Danielle Kang lately.
After failing to notch a win in 2021, Kang rang in the new year by winning the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. She then posted a runner-up the very next week and followed that up with consecutive top-10 finishes.
Since then, the world No. 11's past five events haven't been as shiny. Her best finish was a T-17 at the Chevron Championship, and she withdrew after Round 1 in two of her last three tournaments due to an ailing back, Kang revealed Tuesday.
