- South Korea’s Sung Kang elevated his game on the back nine to claim his first career PGA Tour victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson in Dallas with a comfortable two-stroke win on Sunday.
But he birdied eight, nine and 10, and settled down on the back nine as he regained the form that saw him shoot a second round 61. An exhausted Kang said he decided to just relax and have fun despite a lack of sleep, with Saturday’s play suspended for darkness and the third round completed earlier on Sunday.
Kang embraced his wife and eight-month baby on the green after sinking the final putt, a Mother’s Day his family, who live in the Dallas area, will not soon forget.The success is also indicative of the rise of Koreans on the Tour. In 2003, K.J. Choi was the only South Korean-born player and today there are 15.
