Rose Zhang’s incredible win in the Mizuho Americas Open brought her plenty of advantages, from LPGA Tour membership to eligibility for the Solheim Cup. Her standing in the world rankings received a huge boost too.
Given Zhang only announced she was turning professional at the end of last month, it’s not surprising that she was as low as 482nd heading into the Liberty National event. Following the 20-year-old’s assured playoff win over Jennifer Kupcho, though, her world ranking is up to a highly respectable 62 – a leap of 420 places.
