SAMMAMISH, Wash. – Ha Na Jang and In Gee Chun will draw curious eyes when they tee off together at 4:30 p.m. ET in Thursday’s first round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club.
They were, after all, at the center of a tempest back in their South Korean homeland in March, and this will mark the first time they’ve been paired together since the infamous escalator incident in Singapore set off the controversy.
What did they think when they saw the pairing?
“I knew it was coming,” Chun said Wednesday through Won Park, her coach who acted as translator.
