Career Highlights

2018 Season

• El Bosque Mexico Championship by Innova: Recorded a T6 finish at the El Bosque Mexico Championship by Innova after posting four-consecutive under-par rounds.
• Shriners Hospitals for Children Open: Playing as a sponsor invite at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, played Nos. 13-16 eagle-birdie-birdie-birdie en route to a final-round 7-under 64 and T10 finish. Was making just his second-ever PGA TOUR start (T47/2015 Puerto Rico Open).

2017 Season

• Club Colombia Championship by Servientrega: In his fourth Korn Ferry Tour start of the year, earned a T3 at the Club Colombia Championship by Servientrega with rounds of 67-68-71-66–272 (12-under) - one shot back of the Ethan Tracy/Roberto Diaz playoff.

2016 Season

Finished third on the Order of Merit to earn 2017 Korn Ferry Tour membership. Pocketed ¥597,575. Enjoyed five top-10s to go with his one victory.

• Putian Open: Contended all week at the Putian Open. But an 11 on the fourth hole in the third round and a triple bogey-8 on No. 13 in the final round ended any chances he had at victory. Still was able to record his third consecutive top-10 and his sixth overall.
• Clearwater Bay Open: Started quickly at the Clearwater Bay Open in Hong Kong, shooting a 6-under 64 in the first round to take the lead. After a second-round 69, was tied for third going into the weekend. Seemingly took control of the tournament in the third round with a 7-under 63 that gave him a four-shot bulge with 18 holes to play. On the final day, could only muster a 1-under 69–a double bogey-bogey, two-hole stretch on Nos. 12 and 13–his undoing. Fell into a playoff with Australian Daniel Nisbet and then lost the extra session on the first hole, the par-5 18th, when Nisbet made an eagle putt from 10 feet after Kang missed the green on his second-shot approach.
• Pingan Bank Open: Was five shots off the lead entering the final round of the Ping An Bank Open in Beijing following rounds of 69-68-67. Made his first Series hole-in-one in the second round, acing the par-3 sixth hole at Topwin G&CC. In the final round, made eight consecutive pars to open his day, falling from contention. Added two birdies and two bogeys the rest of the way to finish 10th.
• Ping An Private Bank Wanda Open: Had a stellar final round at the Ping An Private Bank Wanda Open, shooting a bogey-free, 7-under 65 that included five birdies and an eagle to move into a T5 with David McKenzie, Seungyun Lee and Sejun Yoon.
• Cadillac Championship: Entered the Cadillac Championship in early June playing well and continued that trend, setting numerous records on his way to victory in Chengdu. After opening with a 3-under 69 at Chengdu Poly GC, tied a Series record with an 11-under 61. Trailed 36-hole leader Justin Shin by four shots but took control of the tournament after a Saturday 62 to take a four-shot lead into the final day. His 24-under 192 shattered the previous record held by Gunn Charoenkul at the 2014 Yulongwan Yunnan Open. Fired a final-round, 5-under 67 to get to 29-under (a new 72-hole record) to defeat Shin by six shots. Made a record-tying 29 birdies during the week along with two eagles to end the streak of victories by players from China at six. Moved to second on the Order of Merit.
• United Investment Real Estate Open: Played bogey-free golf in the final round of the United Investment Real Estate Wuhan Open to finish third, six shots behind winner Zecheng Dou. The third-place finish was his first top-10 in nine previous starts, dating to 2015. Following an opening 77 in rainy, windy conditions at Yishan GC, he followed with rounds of 68-71-68 that allowed him to move into the sixth position on the Order of Merit through two tournaments.
• China QT #1-OCT Kunming Wind Valley: Recaptured a fully exempt PGA TOUR China Series' exemption by finishing T12 at the First Global Qualifying Tournament in Kunming. Began the final round outside the top 15–tied for 24th–but a 5-under 67, the low round of the day, moved him into fully exempt position.

2015 Season

He had a solid first season playing in China, finishing 55th on the Order of Merit, approximately ¥15,000 from keeping his exempt status. His best finishes among his seven made cuts in 2015 were a pair of top-20s.

• Puerto Rico Open: Made his PGA TOUR debut when he earned a playing spot in the Puerto Rico Open. Opened with a 76 but made the cut with a 2-under 70 in the second round. Finished T47 after firing a final-round 68 at Trump International GC.
