KILDEER, Ill. – Danielle Kang’s mother would worry.
Her daughter was too driven, too frustrated trying to follow up her two U.S. Women’s Amateur victories with her first LPGA title.
Grace Lee knew what was driving her daughter to exhaustion.
“She struggled so hard trying to win for her dad,” Grace said. “It was something she felt like she really needed to do for her dad, and when she finally did, it was like she was a different person. She was reborn. She was free.”
Kang’s first LPGA victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last year was as liberating as it was fulfilling.
