Rose Zhang earned a special exemption to compete at the 2023 US Women's Open

Rose Zhang turned professional in 2023 after winning the individual National Championship in May. She became the first woman in history to successfully defend her NCAA championship.

Interestingly, she began her professional career by defeating Jennifer Kupcho in a sudden-death playoff at the Mizuho Americas Open in June 2023.

Rose Zhang has won recognition for her outstanding performance on the LPGA Tour and has been granted a special exemption for the 2023 US Women's Open by the United States Golf Association (USGA).

John Bodenhamer, the USGS Chief Championship Officer, praised her, saying:

"The U.S. Women’s Open is the greatest test of golf for the best players in the game, and that certainly includes Rose, who had a once-in-a-generation amateur career. With the first of many U.S. Women’s Opens coming to Pebble Beach, and young, talented players in the field like Rose, the future of the women’s game is undeniably bright.”

Zhang is also thrilled to be able to compete in the major with the special exemption. The golfer expressed gratitude to the officials, saying:

“Competing in the U.S. Women’s Open is always a special experience, and being granted an exemption into the first at Pebble Beach is truly an honor."

She went on to add:

"This is a big moment for our sport, and I’m very appreciative of the USGA for the opportunity to be part of it.”

It's worth noting that Zhang competed in the US Women's Open as an amateur and finished 40th in 2022. It would, however, be her first US Women's Open as a professional.
