Defending champion Rose Zhang had to withdraw from the Mizuho Americas Open after completing only three holes of the opening round due to illness. The 20-year-old golfer started her round on the back nine at Liberty National and shot par on the 10th hole, a double bogey on the 11th, and par on the 12th before having to withdraw.
Zhang's withdrawal comes on the heels of her recent victory at the Cognizant Founders Cup, where she ended Nelly Korda's record-tying streak of five consecutive LPGA tournament wins. Last week's victory marked Zhang's first win in almost a year, highlighting her skill and resilience on the course.
Despite the setback at the Mizuho Americas Open, Zhang's talent and determination continue to impress fans and fellow competitors alike. Her performance last week serves as a testament to her ability to compete at the highest level of professional golf.
We wish Rose Zhang a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back in action on the course soon.
