A Massachusetts Golf Story Built by Her Family
Khang was born in Brockton and grew up in Rockland, Massachusetts. Her parents, Lee and Nou, came to the United States from Laos as children. Lee worked as an automotive mechanic and learned golf as an adult before becoming Megan’s first coach.
Her earliest incentive was wonderfully ordinary: trips to the golf course could come with soft-serve ice cream. The arrangement developed into a serious player-coach relationship, and Khang progressed from Massachusetts junior golf to national championships.
She became the first player of Hmong and Laotian descent to compete on the LPGA Tour. That distinction is an important part of her story, but so is the nontraditional development path behind it: family instruction, no college golf and a professional debut in 2015.
Eight Seasons of Patience Before Her First LPGA Win
Khang earned LPGA membership for the 2016 season and developed into a consistent major-championship contender. Her best major finishes through the completed 2025 majors include third at the 2023 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, tied fourth at the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open and tied sixth at the 2025 AIG Women’s Open.
2023 CPKC Women’s Open
Her first victory finally arrived at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver. Khang completed 72 holes at 9-under 279 before defeating former world No. 1 Jin Young Ko with a par on the first playoff hole.
The win came in Khang’s 191st LPGA start. That long wait makes the victory the natural centerpiece of her career: sustained Tour-level performance eventually became a trophy rather than a story of repeated near misses.
