First PGA Tour win for Kang in Dallas

Sung Kang earned his first P GA Tour victory with a final-round 67 at the AT&T Byron Nelson in Dallas.

The 31- year-old, who matched the Trinity Forest course record with a 61 in the second round, had to complete 27 holes on the last day after a severe weather delay hit round three.

He finished 23 under par, two shots ahead of Americans Matt Every and Scott Piercy. Afterwards Kang was asked about a phone call to his father in South Korea, when he said “I did it”. He said: “My dad gave me a lot of support and sent me over to the US when I was 15 and gave me a lot of opportunity to learn from good pros.”

Masters runner-up Brooks Koe pk a was fourth, with Scotland’s Martin Laird in a tie for 35th.
