Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 07:44:49 GMT

PEBBLE BEACH – Rose Zhang’s U.S. Women’s Open debut approached the two-hour mark when she reached Pebble Beach’s signature hole: the par-3 seventh, darting 113 glorious yards toward Carmel Bay.Gap wedge in hand, gray sky overhead, she dropped her tee shot within 3 feet, 8 inches of the hole. Next came her third birdie in a five-hole span in Thursday’s opening round, eliciting cheers from a few hundred fans perched atop the nearby hilltop.The Rose Parade, if you will, was marching down golf’s majestic main street.And then it wasn’t. Zhang double-bogeyed her next hole, falling victim to “the toughest second shot in golf” as her eighth-hole approach fell into the treacherous gulch. Her scorecard got further scarred with mood-numbing bogeys, rather than title-chasing birdies.Zhang’s seventh-hole birdie was the last of her opening round. Golf’s newest star needs to rally when she reports back for Friday’s second round, an 8:50 a.m. start at...
