Golf phenom Rose Zhang, who broke Tiger Woods' NCAA wins record, turns pro

cbc.ca

Two-time NCAA champion Rose Zhang announced Friday she is leaving Stanford after two seasons and will make her pro debut at the LPGA's Mizuho Americas Open.

At Stanford, Zhang posted 12 wins — the most in school history — in 20 events. Eight of those came in 2022-23 in just 10 events, and she's tied with Tiger Woods for most wins in Stanford history in a single season.

The No. 1-ranked amateur in the world and a two-time first-team All-American, she is the first woman to win two NCAA titles.

She twice set the NCAA single-season scoring average record, besting her 69.68 average as a freshman with a 68.81 mark as a sophomore.
