Though many carry the swagger while competing in professional golf, not many outshine the confidence of Kevin Na. The Korean-American golfer’s walking-in schtick has earned him one of the coolest moments in golf. While many try to replicate him, LPGA star, Danielle Kang, teaches her Instagram followers how to imitate Na.
After five PGA Tour wins, Kevin Na jumped ship to LIV Golf last year. He was among the first defectors to make the bold move. As the 39-year-old currently prepares for the second season of the Saudi-funded Tour, he was seen having a round of golf with fellow Korean-origin golfer, Danielle Kang. Along with the remarkable talent, there was also plenty of banter at Shadow Creek Golf Club.

The LIV Golf defector shared a video on his Instagram story, where Danielle Kang was seen teaching the golf world the ‘Kevin Na method’ while being recorded by the owner of the method. “This is what I do when I putt down on the golf”, claimed the LPGA star before Na added how the video is going global.

“So Kevin Na early walk. You can’t early walk this way”, she said while leaning towards the back leg. According to Kang, a player must have a low putt finish to avoid any embarrassment of missing the hole and lean directly towards the hole to pick the ball.
Na approves the LPGA star’s concept by saying, ‘I Love it’. After he posted the video as his Instagram story, Kang also reshared the story with her opinion. She captioned the video by writing, “My logic kind of makes sense and it works for me”, and ended with a laughing emoji.
The LIV Golf star’s walking-in style has been quite popular among golf fans for many years. Though many may consider it to be overconfident, others deem it to be edgy. Similar to Kang, there are numerous fans of South Korean’s unique walk. However, to pull it off, you also got to be as good at golfing as Kevin Na.
