Teen sensation breaks Tiger Woods’ records just for fun

The young golfer everyone’s gushing about is women’s amateur Rose Zhang. Still only 19, the Rose has made considerable headway in her youthful career. Her list of records is seemingly unparalleled, but one of them stands out – one in which she equaled none other than Tiger Woods himself.

Zhang recently participated in the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship, where she secured a record-setting victory. She shot scores of 64, 68, and 65 in the 54-hole event to finish with nineteen-under par. Impressively, it set the record for the best competition score in the program’s history, a massive three strokes clear of the previous holder.

However, the win had greater implications for Zhang’s glittering records. The NCAA Women’s Golf Championship victory marked her eleventh win in her 19th start to an event. Per Sports Illustrated, she is the fastest to the feat and now rubs shoulders with golf legend Tiger Woods, who clinched the same amount of victories in 26 events, the last of which came back in 1996.
