LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLORIDA - American Danielle Kang stepped to the tee at the treacherous par-3 finishing hole at the LPGA's season-opening Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions on Thursday and had a bit of a problem. Standing 204 yards from the flag stick, she told her caddie that she didn't have a club for the shot.
Gaby Lopez, Angela Stanford and Inbee Park, recently named the LPGA's player of the decade, each opened at 65. Lexi Thompson was in a group at 5-under 66. Twenty-one of the 26 players broke par. Kang said she really never took an offseason since her last start in Florida in late November, taking part in outings in Hawaii and Palm Springs and spending time working with renowned instructor Butch Harmon in Las Vegas.
She wants to challenge herself this season to keep up with the tour's younger up-and-coming stars. Stanford even is training to run the Los Angeles Marathon in March. She was pleased to get off to such a quick start.
