Megan Khang Finishes T24 in TPC Boston Homecoming
Massachusetts native Megan Khang was back home this weekend competing in the second FM Championship at TPC Boston.
Following a T35 finish in the inaugural tournament, Khang finished in a tie for 24th this year at nine-under par for the week.
“I felt as though my game was in a really good spot. Hit some are the great shots. Wasn’t able to convert some of the birdies that I wish I did. It was a little shaky start because of the nerves, but I feel like hopefully by next year it settles down a little more playing in front of the home crowd,” said Khang after the round.
Khang posted rounds of 71, back-to-back 69s and a final round 70 for the week.
“Other than the mishap weather on Friday, I would say it was a pretty great week. It’s always a little more pressure that I put on myself to play well for those that come out to watch, but once I kind of settled down, once my caddie, reiterated to me like everyone is here in support of me and not to put more pressure on me, it settled me a little bit. Obviously happy to make the weekend. I felt like I played well, but I think some of the girls are playing a little different course than I am. It will be interesting finish, but really happy to get the week done, and played relatively well with everything that happened in the week,” said Khang.
Khang had big galleries all week along including a lot of friends and family.
Both her parents were in attendance, and also her younger cousins, who she said are just starting to pick up the game.
“My younger cousins have recently picked up golf. It’s pretty cool, because I told them I used to call them my little cousin and now they’re a lot bigger than me, so I call them my younger cousins. To see them tease me about playing golf back in the day when I had to leave some family parties early just to go practice. To see them kind of come out and rooting for me and see what I get to do week in and week out, it’s really cool, just because now that they play golf they have a little deeper appreciation for the game,” said Khang.
Khang is from Massachusetts but grew up learning the game at Button Hole, as GolfNewsRI wrote about in 2024.
This week, she took home just under $39K.
The FM Championship was won by China’s Miranda Wang at 20-under par.
She is the 24th different winner on the LPGA Tour this season.
