After shooting a season-best 64 in the final round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G, Danielle Kang lost on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Atthaya Thitikul. But when she walked off the course, Kang wasn’t upset. Instead, she cried tears of joy and felt nothing but gratitude.
“I’m just so happy for my team that somehow got me back playing this year,” Kang told the Golf Channel. “There was part of me that I didn’t think I would ever play again or contend, but here I am. I’m not that far off and I’m happy about that.”
The Walmart NW Arkansas Championship was just her third event since June, when she stepped away from the tour to undergo treatment for what she described as a tumor on her spine. Kang credits her team with getting her back on the range and back in contention.
Great performance
