After the greatest amateur career since Tiger Woods and a historic professional debut, 20-year-old Rose Zhang will be the biggest star at the U.S. Open, which starts Thursday at Pebble Beach. And some in the golf world think she will transform the sport.
, nestling a hybrid to inside 10 feet on the second playoff hole. She has a photogenic smile, a growing portfolio of corporate sponsors, a 3.87 grade-point average at Stanford and a wedge game that would make your club pro fall out of his golf cart. She has already enchanted the golf world, and those around the sport believe she has the potential to transcend the women’s game.
Zhang loves every morsel of golf. It is where she finds peace alone on the driving range and where she made most of her best friends. She still cherishes the satisfaction of a well-struck shot. The game’s balance of technique and creativity captivates her. At Stanford, she spent most waking hours — and many napping hours — at Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex, studying, sharpening her game or hanging out. The endless work she puts into the game never feels like a burden.
“That’s when I knew we had something,” Pinnell said. “She is different than anybody I’ve worked with. There’s just no one quite like her.”won the 2020 U.S. Women’s Amateur On the course, she separates with a mental game older players would envy and a miraculous short game. Most golfers have consistency or a flourish for saving pars. There are flushers who panic when in the rare instances they find trouble and magicians who are comfortable in bad spots because they’re always in them. Zhang fuses the best of both styles.
Zhang has honed her swing over countless hours. She extracts joy from marathon range sessions, finding answers in the dirt. She still works with Pinnell, but at tournaments she essentially serves as her own coach. Walker does not hesitate to label her a genius. The transition to professional golf has upturned Zhang’s schedule. Sponsorship obligations, interviews and news conferences sapped her energy and infringed on her cherished practice sessions.
After a whirlwind New York media tour, Zhang flew back to Stanford. Walker wanted to pick her up at the airport, but a miscommunication prevented her from leaving on time. Walker texted Zhang that she would arrange for a car. Zhang told her not to bother — the hottest name in golf, trophy in tow, was already on the way in the Uber she called herself.
