Not Nelly Korda or Rose Zhang, This LPGA Player’s ‘Slam Dunk’ at the Mighty Pebble Beach Makes Crowd Roar: ‘Oh Heck Yes!!!!’

The 2023 US Women’s Open has already marked a place in the history books. The 78th US Women’s Open finally debuted at the historic and iconic Pebble Beach. The prestigious venue hosted 13 previous USGA Championships and now has a new chapter.

This year’s US Women’s Open is an exciting one, with top veterans, amateur underdogs, and rising stars making up the 156-player list. With names such as Rose Zhang, Mina Harigae, Nelly Korda, Jin Young Ko, and Angela Zhang, among others, this is proving to be a great event for golf enthusiasts. But when it comes to impressing the crowds with an incredible shot, another name is on that list.

LPGA star stuns the fans with her incredible shot

Danielle Kang entered the 2023 US Women’s Open as one of the top 30-point leaders from the 2022 LPGA Race to the CME Globe. With one LPGA major under her belt, she is looking to score her second major in this tournament. The two-time US Women’s Amateur winner made the fans roar with her two-hop birdie.

The shot came on the 17th, and fans in attendance and the internet went wild. Taking into consideration that Kang is playing this year’s US Women’s Open with a tumor on her spine, she is proving to be a standout contender.

Prior to entering the tournament, Kang mentioned her goal in an interview with Golf Channel: “My goal is to play this week. I didn’t want to miss it. I’m really happy that I’m here. It’s been a difficult road, but I’m pretty stoked that I’m able to hit certain shots, and I feel like my game is a little bit there.” And that incredible shot certainly proved that she’s on her way to achieving those goals!

The road to the 2023 US Women’s Open has not been easy for Kang. She turned Pro in 2011 and has since won six LPGA tournaments. The 2017 Women’s PGA Championship has been her only major win. She placed fourth in the 2018 US Women’s Open, followed by sixth at the 2019 ANA Inspiration.
