Kang Sung-hoon Biography

Kang Sung-hoon is one of the most popular and richest Golfer who was born on June 4, 1987 in Jeju, South Korea. Kang Sung-hoon (born on June 4, 1987) is also called Sung Kang, is a South Korean professional golfer who competes on the PGA Tour. He was the winner of his first tournament in 2019 with the AT&T Byron Nelson which was his first victory in the PGA Tour.

Kang participated in the Web.com Tour from 2013 to 2015. In October 2013, he took home the two championships held in Korea over the course of a few weeks which included for the CJ Invitational and the Kolon Korea Open. He didn’t win in the Web.com Tour but was runner-up in the Utah Championship in both 2014 and 2015. He also lost an elimination match in 2015 against Patton Kizzire. He ended 2015 in 22nd position on the Web.com Tour regular season standings and was able to back-to-back appearance on the PGA Tour for 2016.

In April 2017, Kang took a three shot lead into the final round of the Shell Houston Open, the first time in his career he had held the 54-hole lead in a PGA Tour event. He finished second to Russell Henley. Two weeks later a good result in the RBC Heritage moved him into the top-100 of the world rankings for the first time, receiving an entry to the 2017 PGA Championship. He also finished tied for 5th in the Quicken Loans National, one of the Open Qualifying Series, to get an entry to the 2017 Open Championship. He tied for 44th place in both his 2017 major appearances.

In July 2018, Kang was involved in a rules controversy at the Quicken Loans National tournament when he was accused of cheating by his playing partner Joel Dahmen. On the dogleg-left 566-yard par-5 10th hole, Kang’s second shot landed in the hazard left of the green. After a short search, a spotter located Kang’s ball some 5 to 8 yards into the hazard. There was no way Kang could play the ball. Instead, he began pointing to the spot at which he thought it had entered the hazard; nearly pin-high. Because the 10th hole is a dogleg left with a hazard all the way down the left side, Kang’s ball would have needed to re-cross the hazard nearer the green in order to earn the drop he was requesting. The exact line his ball had taken en route to its final resting place thus came under careful scrutiny. There was a discussion with a rules official, Dahmen and Kang which reached an impasse as another group played through. After further discussion, Kang conceded that his ball more likely crossed the hazard 35 yards from the pin rather than his first suggestion. Kang dropped the ball at a point 37 yards from the hole, hit his approach to 17 feet, and holed the putt for a par. Later that night, Dahmen accused Kang of cheating on Twitter. The PGA Tour released a statement indicating that they regarded the issue as closed: “With no clear evidence to prove otherwise, it was determined by the official that Kang could proceed with his fourth shot as intended, following a penalty stroke and subsequent drop. The PGA Tour will have no additional comment on this matter.” Kang finished third in the event, his best result of the season, and earned a place in the field for the 2018 Open Championship, while Dahmen finished T23.

In May of 2011, Kang lost a playoff for the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Nationwide Tour. In the next month, he was able to qualify to play in the U. S. Open which was his first major tournament which he won, and ended up in 39th place, tied for the 39th spot. Kang kept the PGA Tour card for 2012 and was able to help himself by finishing tied with third place in the Children’s Miracle Network Classic, which put him at the top of the list of top earners. In October 2011 , he was second for the Shinhan Donghae Open, a Korean Tour event, finishing one stroke ahead of Paul Casey. 2012 was not a productive year, and he did not manage to keep his spot as a player on the Tour.
