American LPGA Tour player Danielle Kang said she was threatened by two men at a Rancho Mirage, California, sushi restaurant on Saturday night.

Kang, 22, had just finished up a third-round 77 and was tied for 53rd place at the LPGA Tour's first major, the ANA Inspiration, when the men approached her. She was eating with her mother and a friend when she said the situation escalated quickly, with the men shouting, "You played like s---," and threatening to kill her, calling her a "stupid b----."

"The guy started shouting, absolutely out of nowhere," Kang said during a phone interview with ESPN.com. "We were just sitting there and they just went nuts."

Kang believed at least one of the men was intoxicated.

She took to Twitter during the incident to explain what was happening:

Waiting for cops to come.. They're waiting outside the sushi restaurant.. I have no idea what just happened.. Was enjoying our dinner — Danielle Kang (@daniellekang) April 5, 2015

"I've had some crazy people, but not like this extreme," Kang said.

She added that the men were standing over them while they were trying to eat and mentioned her Round 3 score during the exchange.

Eventually the men left the restaurant, at one point staring in the window, before Kang called the police. When the police arrived, Kang said one of the two officers on the scene followed her car back to the hotel where she and here mom were staying. She did not know if any arrests were made.

Deputy Michael Vasquez of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said they received a call of disturbing the peace at Midori Restaurant with what was described as two males using offensive language.

"When we arrived, the males had departed the scene. Patrons said they were possibly drunk and they left on their own," Vasquez said.

The department is still investigating the incident.

The LPGA called Kang and asked if she was OK. It told her it would be on alert during Sunday's final round.

This isn't the first time a situation like this has happened to Kang. She said last year at the CME Group Tour Championship that someone broke into her hotel room and went through her belongings. At a tournament in Thailand, a man tried to enter her room and a short while later, she said he asked why she hadn't hired him as a local caddie.

As a precaution, Kang said she leaves her golf clubs in front of her hotel door in case someone tries to break in, hoping the clubs will clang together and wake her up.

Kang, 90th in the world rankings, had an impressive amateur career, winning two U.S. Women's Amateur titles. She played collegiately at Pepperdine.
