Rose Zhang dominated amateur golf like no other female in the modern game. Now the Stanford star is ready to take on the best.
“This is a big moment for our sport, and I’m very appreciative of the USGA for the opportunity to be part of it,” Zhang said.“Rose Zhang is an incredibly talented golfer who has already written her name into the history books as an amateur golfer,” said Martin Slumbers, the CEO of the R&A. “It is very rare that we grant a special exemption for the AIG Women’s Open but we believe that Rose’s exceptional achievements to date warrant her inclusion in the field at Walton Heath.
“Rose is one of the greatest amateur golfers in the history of the sport – male or female – and we are thrilled to welcome her into our field," said Jerry Rizzieri, the president and CEO of Mizuho Securities USA. Along with the two NCAA titles — Stanford won the team title last year — the final piece of an incomparable career was the Augusta National Women's Amateur, already among the elite amateur events because it is held at the home of the Masters.
Zhang already has NIL deals at Stanford, and given her mixture of prodigious talent and remarkable grace and humility, likely will be among the highest-paid in women's golf through corporate endorsements. Such announcements are expected next week.
