Zhang Claims Historic Title - Stanford University Athletics


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Rose Zhang overcame a four-shot deficit to begin the final day of NCAA Championships, firing a bogey-free, 4-under 68 to win her second consecutive national championship. Zhang is the first woman to ever win multiple national titles in her career, claiming her 12th victory in the process. 

Zhang’s 12th win tied Lorena Ochoa for most in Pac-12 Women’s Golf history, while she surpassed Tiger Woods, Maverick McNealy and Patrick Rodgers for the most in Stanford Golf history. 

Zhang also won for the eighth time in 10 events this season, tied for the most in women’s collegiate golf history and tied with Tiger Woods for most in a single season in Stanford golf history. 

With her 68 on Monday, Zhang finished the season with an NCAA record 68.81 scoring average of 31 rounds, nearly a stroke better than her 69.68 NCAA record from her freshman season.

Stanford earned the No. 1 seed for match play and will face No. 8 Pepperdine in the quarterfinal on Tuesday morning beginning at 7:10 a.m. Stanford, the defending national champions, is the only program nationally to have qualified for match play in all eight seasons of the current format. 

Much more information coming later.
