LPGA 2022, CP Women's Open, Ottawa, Canada, 25-28 August: Day One
Danielle Kang returns to play, following surgery
Danielle Kang's courage, determination and resilience should not be underestimated. Following surgery to the spine, it can take considerable time and effort to regain even simple, basic movements, yet Danielle is back in the field and competing, as the professional she truly is.
From LPGA News, by Steve Eubanks:
She intends to keep the personal medical details private. Rightly so. But Danielle Kang did let the world know how much she appreciated the support she received after an extended absence due to what was described as a tumor on her spine...
Kang was last seen at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles in Southern Pines, North Carolina, back in June. It was there that her brother put out a post on social media stating that Danielle was suffering from a tumor. The 29-year-old confirmed the story but offered no other details.
“I took some time to properly rehab and address the issue that I've been playing through, and of course I never want to be away from the LPGA Tour." Read more

Four birdies in her first 10 holes and eight straight pars to end her round were good enough for a 4-under 67.
“I feel pretty solid. I’m really happy that I posted scores in the 60s. That’s something (that) has been a goal of mine for a few months now,” Kang said after her round. Read more
