Megan Khang has had a remarkable journey in the LPGA which is straight out of a movie. Her parents came to the United States as refugees of the Vietnam War and now their daughter, Megan won the first LPGA event of her career.
Khang made an extraordinary leap when she became the first Hmong and Laotian descent golfer to play in the LPGA Tour.
Her parents Nou and Lee Khang had a tumoltuous journey from the war-torn country of Laos during the Vietnam War. Lee was just 7 when he left his country after America's withdrawal from the war.
He was from a rice-farming family and was part of the largest rice settlement in the world. The place also served as a CIA base in Laos where Americans trained Hmong people to fight against communists.
