PHOENIX – Ha Na Jang’s dynamic emergence as an LPGA winner this year hit the tour like a freshening breeze with her colorful victory celebrations going viral.
That “Samurai Lasso” Jang unveiled winning the Coates Golf Championship sent a jolt of delight through the gallery around the 18th green in Ocala, Fla. Her Beyonce “Single Ladies” dance after winning the HSBC Women’s Champions was just as electric.
With her 10,000-watt smile and playful disposition, Jang is the fun, new headliner in women’s golf this year, and that’s what makes her revelation at the JTBC Founders Cup this week so disconcerting.
