SAN FRANCISCO – Fans erupted in applause as 17-year-old Megha Ganne confidently drained her 6-footer for par on the eighth – her last hole in Round 2 – to shoot even-par 71 and remain co-leader at the U.S. Women’s Open at Olympic Club. Ganne walked off the green with a smile and waved to the crowd, enjoying every minute of her success thus far.
“I wish every event I had a gallery watching me because it just makes me play better, I think. And I love being in the spotlight, so it's been really fun,” said Ganne on Friday.
