If you haven’t heard the name Rose Zhang strap in, because it’s going to be a long ride watching her progress on the women’s LPGA Tour. She’s been likened to Tiger, lauded by Tiger and her feats are doing the talking at this early stage of her career. Rose Zhang made history this week, with a win in her professional debut at the Mizuho Americas Open.

Australia’s Stephanie Kyriacou had a great week finishing T10, with Minjee Lee back in T13.
