One of us! One of us!
Rose Zhang shot an even-par 72 in blustery conditions Thursday during the opening round of the 2024 AIG Women’s British Open at St. Andrews, but her second 18 got off to a rocky start after finding a greenside pot bunker on the second hole.
Hoping to get up and down for par, Zhang’s first attempt slammed into the riveted face and rolled back down into the sand. Her second try ended the same way.
With her third from the sand, she rocketed her ball out sideways back into the fairway and went on to make a quadruple-bogey eight.
Zhang birdied the next hole but double-bogeyed the par-5 fifth and was 5 over through 5 holes Friday. The projected cut sat at 4 over as of 10 a.m. ET Friday.
