It’s been days since Kang’s win at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, certainly making it a cheerful time for the California native. She ended up meeting Wayne and Janet Gretzky following that, and also celebrated Gretzky’s birthday.
Of course, it is not over for Kang just yet. She has to hone her skills more and surely plans to work with coach Butch Harmon about the same. “I think I’m focused too much on how to guide the ball more so than just hitting it. But I don’t mind it. It is what it is,” she said. “Trying to hit the best shot I can hit, and I hit some really great drives and really bad drives, and I’m OK with that; made some good putts.”
