Zhang wins Mizuho Americas Open in pro debut FMTNews FMTSports
NEW YORK: Rose Zhang beat Jennifer Kupcho with a par at the second playoff hole to win the Mizuho Americas Open in her professional debut on Sunday, a rare feat in LPGA history.
“What is happening? I just can’t believe it,” Zhang said after two-putting for par at the second playoff hole, the 18th at Liberty National in Jersey City, New Jersey. Zhang, who also won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur this year, started with a two-stroke lead, but on another cold and blustery day she couldn’t find a birdie, although she made a string of clutch par putts on the way to a two-over par 74 for a nine-under total of 279.
Zhang was in the left fairway bunker off the tee and couldn’t get her par-saving putt to drop and she and Kupcho headed back to the 18th tee for the playoff.
