Rose Zhang Player Profile And What's In The Bag

Following great anticipation, Rose Zhang instantly fulfilled that hype by etching her name in the record books after becoming the first player in 72 years to win on the LPGA in her professional debut. 

The 20-year-old overcame the formidable challenge of major winner Jennifer Kupcho to claim the Mizuho Americas Open after a captivating playoff.

Zhang's decision to turn professional came after she established herself as being the first woman to win consecutive NCAA Individual Championships, securing her status as a legend of Stanford University, following in the footsteps of Tiger Woods, who tweeted his congratulations.

"What is happening? I just can't believe it," Zhang said afterwards at Liberty National in the shadow of New York City.

"It was just last week when I won NCAAs with my teammates. To turn pro and come out here, it's just been amazing."

Zhang will take on full LPGA Tour membership after completing her finals at Stanford this week and will be a factor in the upcoming major championships, including the US Women's Open at Pebble Beach and Women's Open at Walton Heath.
