Rose Zhang was crowned Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion for 2023 after a play-off
World No 1 amateur Rose Zhang claimed the Augusta National Women’s Amateur title after a dramatic play-off against Jenny Bae.
Zhang and Bae were both tied on nine under after the final round on Saturday, with a birdie on the 17th hole from the former drawing her level and ensuring a play-off to decide the title.
Georgia state native Bae shot two under in the final round at Augusta National to haul herself into contention, while 2020 US Women’s Amateur champion Zhang finished at four over to leave the pair tied on a three-round total of 207.
Nothing could separate the pair on the first hole of the play-off as they both parred the 18th, but Zhang two-putted on the 10th to add the ANWA championship to her burgeoning golfing CV after Bae found the trees and then a bunker behind the green.
