Sports Danielle Kang wins Women's Amateur
2011.08.14 13:12
 BARRINGTON, R.I. -- Danielle Kang became the first player in 15 years to successfully defend the U.S. Women's Amateur title, beating Thailand's Moriya Jutanugarn 6 and 5 on Sunday in the 36-hole final in rainy and windy conditions at Rhode Island Country Club. Kang, the 18-year-old Pepperdine star from Westlake Village, Calif., had a 4-up lead after 18 holes and finished off Jutanugarn with a par on the par-4 13th."I feel great," said Kang, who had 11 birdies -- three conceded -- and one bogey in 31 holes. "I played the best round I've played at a major championship. I played well last year, but not this well."Kang, who plans to turn pro, won last year at Charlotte Country Club in North Carolina. Kelli Kuehne was the last player to win two straight years, accomplishing the feat in 1995-96. The 17-year-old Jutanugarn was the low amateur last month in the U.S. Women's Open."I played OK, but she made a lot of birdies," Jutanugarn said.Her 15-year-old sister, Ariya, her caddie, won the U.S. Girls' Junior two weeks ago. They were trying to become the first family members to claim two USGA titles in the same year. Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press  |

I have enjoyed watching on TV this brilliant 2nd generation Korean American,
Danielle Kang playing almost flawless golf against 17 years old Thailand player
by the name of Jutanugarn.18 years old Kang beat Jutanugarn by 6 and 5 in 36 hole final of US Women's
Amateur title.It has been 15 years to win this prestigious tournament back to back.
Danielle was born in San Francisco and her parents are KS Kang and Grace Lee.
She has been all American in Pepperdine University.She plans to become a pro after this tournament.
Good luck to Danielle as a LPGA player!

Hi, There;
그녀는 보면 볼수록 미국의 Pink Lady, Paula Creamer 같이 보입니다.
단지 her color is "violet" 이지요.
정면 얼굴은 물론, profile은 더 비슷합니다.
Any one agrees with me?However, she will be playing under American flag, I guess.

위의 사진은 작년우승시 사진인데 아직도 Paula Creamer와 비슷하다고
생각하시는지? 혹 운영자님이 Paula를 너무좋아 하셔서 착시현상이 일어난것이
아닌지,ㅎ,ㅎ. 농담입니다.그리고 그녀가 달고나올 국기와는 상관없이 그녀는 한인
낭자임에 틀림없으니까요. 규정 -

Danielle KANG won
111th Women's US Amateur Championship.
Danielle KANG (San Diego, California),
San Diego State College 애 다니는 한인 낭자로 추측되는 Danielle KANG (18살)이 111th Women's Amateur Championship (Match Game)이 열리는 Rhode Island Club 36 Hole 결승전에서 Thailand, Marya Jutanugarn 선수를 6 &5 로 간다니 이겻따.
Kang은 작년에 이어 2년 연승한다. 16년 만에 인는 경이적인 기록이다.
1995년 Kelli Kuehne에 이어 처음 이러나믄 기록이라 한다. 현재 Hall of Famer인 Julie Inkster (Simpson)이 20년 저네 이룬 기록이라 한다.근 2 Rounds 하면서 11 Birdie에, No Bogey라는 완벽한 경기를 운영해따.
한국 낭자로는 Grace Park 과 Pearl Sinn도 Champion이 엿따 한다.
이 대회를 마지막으로 치루고 Pro로 전향 하려고 한다 하더라.Commentator들의 칭찬이 대단 하더라. 심지어는 Pro로 전향하면 Ranking 15위 안에 들거시라고 극찬 하더라. 굉장이 이지적이고 활짝 운는기 마음에 들더라. 물논 영국말은 완전 하고----, 지금 한창 PGA Championship 중계를 하는데도 첨지는 이거세 정신이 쏠니니 우짠 일인고? ㅎ ㅎ, 놀부.
