Australian professional golfer Jessica Bang has died at the age of 18 after suffering a brain hemorrhage while preparing for a tournament in Thailand.
Bang collapsed on August 1 and was rushed to a hospital in Bangkok, where she underwent emergency brain surgery. She died on Thursday, according to the WPGA Tour of Australasia.
The young golfer had recently begun her professional career after earning her place on the tour through qualifying school late last year.
Bang made an impressive start to her career in February when she won the Women’s New South Wales Open Regional Qualifying Event in only her fifth professional appearance. She carded a final-round 65 to secure a place in the NWS Women’s Open on the Ladies European Tour, although she later missed the cut.
The WPGA Tour of Australasia expressed deep sorrow over her death, describing Bang as an outstanding young talent who had made a significant impression during her short time on the professional circuit.
Her cousins also remembered her for her cheerful personality and sense of humour, saying she would be deeply missed by her family.
A GoFundMe campaign launched by Bang’s cousins has raised more than A$50,000 to support the family following her sudden death.
The Australian golf community has since mourned the loss of a promising young player whose professional career was only beginning.
