The 20-year-old sophomore set the Stanford record with 12 wins — one more than Tiger Woods — in only 20 tournaments and was No. 1 in the amateur world ranking for a record 141 weeks.
Rose Zhang dominated amateur golf like no other female in the modern game. Now the Stanford star is ready to take on the best.
“Wow … it’s finally happening,” Zhang announced on Instagram. “The endless love, support and inspiration from so many people brought me to this point of my golf career.” “This is a big moment for our sport, and I’m very appreciative of the USGA for the opportunity to be part of it,” Zhang said.“Rose Zhang is an incredibly talented golfer who has already written her name into the history books as an amateur golfer,” said Martin Slumbers, the CEO of the R&A. “It is very rare that we grant a special exemption for the AIG Women’s Open but we believe that Rose’s exceptional achievements to date warrant her inclusion in the field at Walton Heath.
It was an example of the hype that Zhang brings with her to the professional game. But then, she has been facing expectations ever since she won the U.S. Women’s Amateur and the U.S. Girls Junior. She was the eighth player to win both, but the first to win the Women’s Amateur before the Junior. Zhang already has NIL deals at Stanford, and given her mixture of prodigious talent and remarkable grace and humility, likely will be among the highest-paid in women’s golf through corporate endorsements. Such announcements are expected next week.
