(Ep 114) Megan Khang
In this next episode of Chasing Pars Golf Podcast which is proudly sponsored by Golf Tips Checker I am absolutely delighted to say I was joined by one of the best players in the world in Women's World Ranked Number 14, 1x LPGA Tour winner & 3x Solheim Cup participant for USA Megan Khang to discuss a brilliant career so far from the Amateur days being Low Amateur at 2012 US Open at the age of 14 years old to going 5-0 at 2015 Junior Solheim Cup to finishing T6th at LPGA Qualifying Tournament to gain LPGA Card in 2016 at the age of just 18 years old making history in the process becoming the first player of Hmong & Laotian descent to play on the LPGA Tour & hopes to inspire the next generation of Hmong & Laotian players!
A proud native of the state of Massachusetts Megan discovered the game of love of the game in New England where she also loved Snowboarding, Fishing & Hiking in her time. Megan is a 3x Solheim Cup participant for Team US having been automatically qualified on merit at the age of 21 to play as a Rookie in 2019 at Gleneagles an experience that will stay with her and tell a funny story about the time she never gave Charley Hull a putt concede in the competition. She was selected on home soil in 2021 & last year at Finca Cortesin Megan would win 3.5 pts for America along with Lexi Thompson & Rose Zhang with a nice story about the super talented Zhang. Megan hopes to be selected for this year's Solheim Cup on home soil again & has aspirations to play into US side at Olympic Games.
Last year on her 191st start on LPGA Tour at CPKC Women's Open in Shaughnessy, Canada Megan would win her maiden LPGA Tour title defeating the mighty Jin Young Ko in a Playoff, Megan describes how she felt coming down the stretch to win her first title! Khang has over 37 Top 10 finishes on the LPGA Tour with 10 Top 10's & 14 Top 25's in 42 Major Starts including a T3rd at KPMG Women's PGA, T9th at Chevron & T9th at Evian in last years Majors!
Megan ranks her favourite majors from 1st to 5th, talks about her friendship group with Nelly & Jess Korda & Alison Lee & of course talks about her favourite coffee!
It was truly an honour for me to have one of the best players in Women's Golf on the show. I wish Megan Khang every success in 2024! I hope you enjoy the show.
