The LPGA player Danielle Kang has done something similar at the Gainbridge Tournament and has become the talk of the community on the internet.

Although she hit the ball before the athletes finished the race, Kang’s putt didn’t reach the hole. So, technically, she couldn’t finish putting before the race ended. This video has stirred many golf fans, and some of them reacted badly with regard to the pace of most LPGA Tournaments.

Some even compared her time to make a putt with the slow play of the PGA Tour player Kevin Na.

While most people complained about the slow pace of the LPGA Tour players, some tried to rationalize the situation with technical explanations.

Many fans explained that the LPGA Tour receives a low viewership count because of this reason.
