Rose ZHANG

Rose Zhang is not your typical 20-year-old. The California native is balancing her college life at the prestigious Stanford University with a budding golf career that has already made waves on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour (LPGA).

Rose Zhang's Rise From Amateur Stardom to Pro Success

Multi-tasking is indeed one of Zhang's greatest strengths, and she is not one to slow down. The Amercian turned professional in May 2023 after a glittering amateur career. She made history by becoming the first women's golfer to win consecutive individual NCAA national titles and her 12 wins in 20 starts saw her achieve a better strike rate than Tiger Woods who had 11 victories in 26 tournaments.

This attention-grabbing accomplishment set the stage for her pro debut less than two weeks later. In a stunning performance, she triumphed over major champion Jennifer Kupcho at the Mizuho Americas Open, making her the first player to win an LPGA tournament on her professional debut in 72 years.
