Danielle Kang won the first event of the LPGA’s Ohio doubleheader and she’s in position for the sweep.
Kang conquered the LPGA’s Drive On Championship in the tour’s return to competition last week, following a four-and-a-half-month break related to the coronavirus pandemic.
With the tour staying in the Buckeye State for this week’s Marathon LPGA Classic, Kang followed her championship performance with a 7-under 64 on Thursday. She had seven birdies and no bogeys at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania.
“I worked a lot on my putting for the last couple days. Didn't really like how the ball was coming off my putter,” Kang told reporters after her round.
