PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Rose Zhang wasn’t thinking about Gary Woodland’s shot on the 17th at Pebble Beach when she faced a similar chip shot from off the putting surface on the front right portion of the green. While Woodlands’ gutsy second shot that won him the 2019 U.S. Open was 93 feet from the hole, Zhang’s near chip-in came from 53 feet. She nestled it to a foot and saved par.
“Oh wow, dude, that’s crazy,” said Zhang as her agent showed her the video after the round.
