SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Stanford’s Rose Zhang shot a bogey-free, 4-under 68 on Monday to become the first women’s golfer to win consecutive national titles and tie the NCAA record for wins in a season.
It’s the latest triumph for Zhang, who had already swept the most important amateur titles in women’s golf. Zhang, who turns 20 on Wednesday, won the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2020, the U.S. Girls’ Junior in 2021 and the Augusta National Women’s Amateur this April.
Leading by one after San Jose State’s Lucia Lopez-Ortega made consecutive bogeys, Zhang saved par on Grayhawk Golf Club’s par-4 17th hole with a delicate chip and tapped in for par on No.
