Shes in the field at this weeks LPGA Mediheal Championship.Khangs parents, Lee and Nou, were children when they escaped Laos with family as communist death squads hunted Hmong for aiding Americans in the Vietnam War. After spending months in Thai refugee camps, Khangs parents finally made their way to the United States, where their families rebuilt their lives.Lee, Meghans father, didnt know what golf was when he arrived in the United States as an 8-year-old. He didnt start playing the game until he was 32, but he taught himself, learning mostly from scouring Golf Digest and later watching YouTube videos. Hes the only coach Megan has ever known.Megan is definitely a role model for young Hmong boys and girls, Lee said. Im so driven to make her the best player she can be, that I have to stand back sometimes to see the big picture and appreciate what shes doing.Megan, a fourth-year LPGA member, knows the impact her name makes on a leaderboard.It would mean the world to me, to inspire children in some way, even if its one child, Khang said.
