Danielle Kang taking break from tour to focus on health

Danielle Kang is taking a break from the LPGA Tour to focus on her health.

The 29-year-old American revealed at last week's US Women's Open that she has been playing with a tumour on her spine.

Tests have not yet determined whether the tumour is malignant or benign.

Kang, who has been bothered by back pain since early April, tied for 63rd at Southern Pines.

She is the third-highest ranked American woman in the world rankings. She is currently No 12 in the Rolex women's world golf rankings.
