World No. 1 Nelly Korda led the competition going into the final day of play but fell down the leaderboard on Sunday as Kang surged ahead.
Firing a 68, Kang shot three consecutive birdies on the 13th, 14th and 15th hole to give herself the lead heading down the stretch. The 29-year-old parred the final two holes to close out the tournament, comfortably securing the first win of the year.
Kang’s title-sealing performance comes after a winless 2021, notching nine top-ten finishes without ever lifting a trophy. The last time Kang won on tour was the Marathon Classic in August 2020.
