It’s been a tough start for Danielle Kang on her home course at the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play. One day after losing 7 and 5 to two-time Olympian Kelly Tan, Kang fell to Eun-Hee Ji in the second day of round-robin matches at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.
Ji now moves to 2-0 in the tournament. The 2009 U.S. Women’s Open winner needs to win this week to play her way into the 2022 Women’s Open field at Pine Needles.
The field of 64 has been divided into 16 groups of four, and after three days of round-robin matches, the competition will move to a 16-player, single-elimination bracket.
