Rose Zhang
Rose Zhang (Chinese: 张斯洋; pinyin: Zhāng Sī Yáng born May 24, 2003) is an American professional golfer. She won the 2020 U.S. Women's Amateur, and both the 2022 and 2023 NCAA Division I Championships, becoming the first woman to win the individual title twice. She competed in the 2019 U.S. Women's Open and was on the gold medal team at the 2019 Pan American Games. Less than two weeks after turning pro, she became the first player to win in her professional debut on the LPGA Tour since 1951.
Zhang was born in Arcadia, California, and resides in Irvine, California. Her parents are Haibin Zhang (father) and Li Cai, and her brother is Bill Sida Zhang, who is 10 years older.
She began playing golf at the age of 9. For high school, Zhang attended Pacific Academy where she was ranked twice as the world's top amateur female golfer. She enrolled at Stanford University in 2021, and has not declared an academic major.
Zhang has had the same golf swing coach, George Pinnell, since age 11. At the 2022 Carmel Cup, she established the women's course record of 9 under par at the Pebble Beach Golf Links, site of the 2023 U.S. Women's Open.
In 2019 at age 16, Zhang was one of the youngest competitors in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur, finishing in a tie for 17th place. She was named by the American Junior Golf Association as the 2019 Girls Rolex Junior Player of the Year. She competed in the 2019 U.S. Women's Open at age 16, finishing in a tie for 55th place at 7 over par. At the 2019 Pan American Games, she was on the winning U.S. mixed-gender team and placed eighth in the individual competition.
Zhang won the U.S. Women's Amateur in August 2020 after defeating Gabriela Ruffels in the final on the 38th hole. In September 2020, Zhang became the top-ranked women's golfer in the World Amateur Golf Ranking after a tie for 11th place and finishing as low amateur at the 2020 ANA Inspiration, an LPGA major championship. In 2021, she won the U.S. Girls' Junior. She was awarded the Mark H. McCormack Medal as the top-ranked women's amateur golfer in the world for three consecutive years (2020–22).
In May 2022, Zhang won the individual NCAA Championship by 3 shots. On her 19th birthday, she was presented with the Annika Award as the top female college golfer of the year. She finished the 2022 Women's British Open in a tie for 28th, earning the Smyth Salver Award as the low amateur.
On April 1, 2023, Zhang won the Augusta National Women's Amateur on the second playoff hole over Jenny Bae. Also in April, she became the female golfer ranked number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for 141 weeks, the most of any player in history. In May 2023, Zhang won the individual NCAA Championship for the second consecutive year, becoming the first woman in NCAA women's golf history to win the individual national championship twice. Her 68.80 scoring average over 31 rounds in the 2022–23 season is the lowest in NCAA women's golf history, bettering the record her Stanford teammate Rachel Heck had set the previous year.
