Danielle Kang made her 18th hole-in-one on Thursday during a practice round at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club. The 32-year-old isn’t yet in the field for the LPGA’s final major.
In fact, she traveled to the United Kingdom earlier this month to compete in the AIG Women’s British Open pre-qualifier. Kang shot 1-under 70 to advance to Final Qualifying, which takes place July 28 at Pyle & Kenfig in Bridgend, Wales.
A minimum of three players will qualify for AIG at Royal Porthcawl, held July 30 to Aug. 3.
Kang, a six-time winner on the LPGA, notched her 17th ace during the opening round of the 2024 Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship.
It’s been a tough stretch for the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA winner, who is currently ranked 507th in the world. Kang’s best finish this season is a share of 54th at the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
Kang’s best finish at a Women’s British Open in 12 appearances is a share of 32nd in 2020.
