It was at Pebble Beach, the storied golf course on the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean, that 20-year-old Rose Zhang set the women’s course record with a nine-under-par 63 last fall.
She was a sophomore at Stanford and just beginning a historic year in which she became the first women’s golfer to win multiple NCAA titles.
This week, she’s returning to the scene for the U.S. Women’s Open, her third tournament since turning pro in May. Four weeks ago, she became the first woman in 72 years to win her pro debut. Last weekend at the Women’s PGA Championship, one of the five major tournaments on the LPGA tour, she was one stroke off the lead with three holes to play.
