Danielle Kang won an All-American duel Sunday at the Buick Shanghai.
In a tight and tense final round, Kang successfully defended her title, overtaking Jessica Korda in the opening leg of the LPGA’s Asian swing.
Afterward, Kang talked about the strength of her support system.
She credited her mother, her brother, her coach, her caddie, and her boyfriend, PGA Tour pro Maverick McNealy, for making her 27th birthday memorable.
Last weekend, McNealy said Kang’s advice helped him close the Houston Open with a PGA Tour career-best 65 for his best finish on Tour (T-17).
