CHEVY CHASE, Md. (AP) Rose Zhang won the U.S. Girls’ Junior on Saturday at Columbia Country Club, beating local favorite Bailey Davis 6 and 4 in the 36-hole final to become the eighth player to win both the junior and U.S. Women’s Amateur.
The 18-year-old Zhang won the amateur 11 months ago at Woodmont Country Club, only eight miles away in Rockville. She’s the only of the eight to win the amateur before the junior.
“To be able to win in such a grueling week, it’s truly amazing,” said Zhang, the top-ranked amateur in the world. “In USGA events, you really need your ‘A’ game in terms of your patience, your grit and your golf game.”
