The two-time NCAA individual champion made even more history by winning the Americas Open on Sunday in Jersey City.
After both made par on the first playoff hole, Zhang and Kupcho hit the fairway at No. 18 before Zhang landed her approach within six feet. Kupcho mis-struck an 8-iron, and her ball settled just off the front of the green. Her putt for birdie rolled off the back, and her bid for par curled left of the cup to one foot.
Kupcho’s bogey gave Zhang two putts for the win. Her first attempt missed right, leaving a tap-in that triggered a celebration on the green. Fellow players handed Zhang a bouquet of red roses, sprayed her with water and posed for pictures to cap a week in which she commanded the spotlight on and off the course.
Zhang had stepped to the tee box at the 72nd hole needing a par to win, but she pulled her drive into a fairway bunker and barely cleared the lip with a 5-iron that landed short of the green, some 50 yards from the pin. Her chip settled to eight feet, and her par putt grazed the right edge, forcing a playoff with Kupcho.Zhang, the overnight leader, had moved back into the solo lead when Kupcho made bogey at the par-4 12th.
A wayward tee shot at the par-4 12th left Zhang in deep rough behind a line of trees. But she recovered brilliantly, getting her approach to sail over the obstructions in front of her and settle within 15 feet as she sprinted onto the fairway to see the result. Zhang’s birdie attempt rolled two feet past the hole, but she maintained her one-stroke advantage by sinking the next putt for a clutch par save reminiscent of the many she made during her ascent to the pinnacle of the amateur ranks.Incredible few weeks for Rose Zhang, defends her NCAA title and then wins in her Pro debut. Go card!Among Zhang’s accomplishments before she turned professional included a victory at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April.
