Personal

Kang was born in San Francisco, California to K.S. Kang and Grace Lee. Her brother Alex is on the San Diego State University men's golf team.

College and amateur career

Kang graduated from high school (began at Oak Park HIgh School and later transferred to Westalke High School) early to begin college at Pepperdine University in the spring of 2010. She played on the Pepperdine Team through the regular season in the spring of 2011. She was ruled academically ineligible to compete during the 2011 NCAA post-season and stated that she was not disappointed because "Pepperdine is in the past for me. I’m focusing on the future. Turning pro after the U.S. Women's Amateur."[1][2]

Kang won the U.S. Women's Amateur in 2010. She was the low amateur at the 2011 Women's British Open, finishing in a tie for 49th place. She repeated her win at the U.S. Women's Amateur in 2011, becoming the first player in 15 years to win back-to-back titles.[3]

Professional career

2011

In September, Kang played in her first tournament as a professional, the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, which she entered on a sponsor's exemption. She missed the cut.[4]

Kang entered the 2011 LPGA Qualifying School. She survived Stage II, shooting +5 (73-74-71-75=293), just making the cut line to qualify for the final stage.[5]
