OCALA, Fla. – Ha Na Jang is patiently waiting to break through to win her first LPGA title, but she knows patience runs thin back in her South Korean homeland.
She’s already a star back there.
Jang was a star on the Korean LPGA Tour before she teed it up to start her rookie season in the United States last year.
That’s why Korean fans and media expect her star to keep shining over here.
It’s why there’s pressure ratcheting up after Jang went winless in her rookie debut last season.
Jang, 22, came over with the newest wave of young South Korean mega talents last year, with Hyo Joo Kim and Sei Young Kim.
