Rose Zhang became the first player to win on their pro LPGA Tour debut in 72 years, capturing the Mizuho Americas Open on the second hole of a playoff
The last female player to win as a pro in her debut was Beverly Hanson, who edged Babe Zaharias to take the Eastern Open in 1951.
Zhang shot a two-over 74 in the final round and squandered a chance to win the event on the 72nd when she missed an eight-foot par saver after making at least a half dozen clutch saves in a gritty final round performance.The much-heralded 20-year-old, who played college golf at Stanford where she was a two-time NCAA national champion, made a nearly identical eight-footer on No 18 at Liberty National on the first playoff hole. Kupcho also made a par.
