The rookie holds the cup as soon as he greets the LPGA Tour field

Zhang shared a score of -9 with Jennifer Kupcho at the completion of four rounds of standards this morning, 6/6 Hanoi time. To close the final result, Zhang and Kupcho dueled on the 18th hole of Liberty National par72 in New Jersey. This showdown ended in the second round, when Zhang held par and Kupcho scored a bogey.

Kupcho, born in 1997, has won three times on the LPGA Tour, including the major Chevron Championship 2022. Zhang just entered professional golf last week, and has just started his professional career from the Mizuho Americas Open.

In this tournament, Zhang took the top of the table at -11 and led by two strokes compared to the next position, when the third round was completed. The finish line, Zhang went from hole 1 and lost all fire when the whole match scored two bogeys, the rest were all par. It was the second bogey, on the last hole, that pushed her down to -9, level with Kupcho and lead to two extra holes with the victory going to Zhang.

"This is probably the best result since I played golf. Because before the tournament, I even thought I didn't cut, I just knew how to play well," Zhang said during the award ceremony.

When she won the Americas Open championship, Zhang became the first player to win the cup on her debut in the US first-class women's golf arena since 1951. She received $256,544 in her opening victory of professional golf.

Before reaching this level, Zhang had more than two years of dominating high-level amateur women's golf, as demonstrated by reaching a record 12 times to bring the cup to Stanford as Tiger Woods, being the only player to win the individual women's championship. For two consecutive years on the national college-university golf tournament system in the United States (NCAA), another 141 weeks kept the top position in the world women's amateur golf table.
