Professional career A self-taught golfer , Pung won five times on the LPGA Tour between 1953 and 1958.

Pung is best known for the tournament she did not win. In the 1957 U.S. Women's Open, she appeared to have beaten Betsy Rawls by one stroke when it was discovered that she had signed an incorrect scorecard and was disqualified. Both she and her playing partner, Betty Jameson, had recorded 5s on the fourth hole when in fact both had made 6s. Although both players had signed for the correct total score, they were both disqualified.

Personal life In 1964, after her LPGA career, she moved to Hawaii's Big Island, where she gave golf lessons professionally. She eventually became the director of golf at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.
