SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – For once, Rose Zhang will be chasing with a big title on the line.
And in her sights is a familiar face.
“Gosh, I’ve known her for way too long,” Zhang said with a laugh. “We go way back...”
Zhang, the reigning individual champion at this week’s NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship, sits tied for third at 6 under as she’s guided Stanford to a seven-shot lead entering Monday’s final round of stroke play at Grayhawk. But four shots in front of the Cardinal sophomore is USC freshman and Zhang's childhood pal Catherine Park, who reached 13 under on her back nine Sunday before a few late bogeys left her at 10 under.
