The CPKC Women’s Open is upon us in the Race to the CME Globe. For all those who could not master a space in this LPGA season, this tournament is a ray of hope. And Megan Khang is utilizing the opportunity to its full extent.

The CPKC Women’s Open is underway at Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club. 152 golfers are battling to complete the journey to CME Globe. The winner’s payout is $375,000 out of a $2.5 Millon purse. And Megan Khang is running ahead of everyone. In a recent interview, Khang shared her mantra.

Megan Khang is feeling pretty good

In a splendid gameplay, Khang carded five straight birdies in a back-nine burst. And she scored a 6-under 66 in the second round on Friday. She has taken a one-stroke lead at the Women’s Open and will play some of her best games in the remaining two days.

In an interview after her performance, everyone wanted to know which feeling engulfed her the most after a jaw-dropping Friday. “You know, today it was a solid day. Yesterday I felt pretty good myself. You know, it’s never a good feeling finishing three bogeys in a row, so obviously I knew I could play some pretty good golf out here.”

It was indeed an impressive upgrade from her Thursday’s triple bogey shot. The 25-year-old continued, “Each day is different but, yeah, no, kind of mid-round, my ball striking got pretty hot, and then my putter was just getting hot as well. So just kind of, like, staying patient out there.”

Khang also said that the front fine felt monotonous when she was making one birdie. But this golf course requires you to make par. In an Instagram reel by CPKC Women’s Open official handle, the greatness of Megan’s course-record can be sensed.

Khang concluded the bogey-free morning with three pars. And now she’s at 7-under 137. Recalling her performance on Thursday, she thought she hit some errant shots. However, her approach to entering another day, knowing it is new, definitely helped her recover.

About her plans heading into the weekend, Khang has promised herself to remember that birdies exist. She plans to stay levelheaded. Looks like she has also accepted the existence of bogeys. All her attempt is about limiting them now.

Who is treading close to Megan?

Swedish star Lin Grant stands in the second position after scoring a 71. And Yuka Saso, the leader of the first round, carded a 73. The Japanese golfer opened the Women’s Open with a 66, but in the second round, she dropped and tied for the third position with Jin Young Ko.

Megan Khang sits on World No.27 and has 33 top-10 finishes. Winning the CPKC Women’s Open will add the first feat to her name. Grant is freshly climbing from the Dana Open win earlier in July. And South Korean Jin Young Ko was a 2019 winner of Magna outside Toronto. She already has 15 LPGA victories.

Golf world’s darling, second-ranked Nelly Korda, stands on four under after her 70. And three-time winner, Lydia Ko, as well as Lilia Vu, shot a 72. It is very evident that Megan is playing amongst some of the experienced and victorious golfers. Do you think she will be able to get her first win? If not, then who?
