Local golfer Megan Khang took center stage at the recent FM Championship held at TPC Boston in Norton. The 26-year-old from Rockland not only performed well on the course, finishing -3 under for the four-day event, but she also took on the role of promoting women’s golf in Massachusetts and promoting the state to her fellow golfers.
Khang’s relatability and down-to-earth personality connected with fans and sponsors alike, making her a standout at the tournament. She went above and beyond for the event, participating in media day events, interviews, autograph signings, and even throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park.
Despite the absence of big-name LPGA superstars like Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko, the Boston-area crowd rallied around Khang, boosting the event’s attendance and atmosphere. Khang’s strong ties to the New England area, including recently purchasing a home in Medford, further solidified her connection with the fans.
Khang’s performance on and off the course didn’t go unnoticed, with LPGA officials praising her for her engaging personality and dedication to the event. She expressed her love for Massachusetts and her excitement for future tournaments in the area.
As she looks ahead to the Solheim Cup in Virginia, Khang is already planning her return for the 2025 FM Championship, eager to continue promoting women’s golf and enjoying the support of her local fans. Her success at the tournament showcased her talent and charisma, solidifying her status as a fan favorite in the golf world.
