PGA Tour pro Byeong Hun An and LPGA star Danielle Kang have hit out after alleging they were the victims of derogatory comments.
An – sometimes known as Ben – was paired alongside his compatriots Seung-Yul Noh and S.H. Kim at the Cadence Bank Houston Open last week.
The world No.226 revealed the incident on Twitter after play had finished in Texas on Sunday.
