Whether Tiger Woods holds a club ever again is up in the air; only he can tell that. But the legacy he has left on the sport is next to impossible for current golfers. The 15-time major championship winner has been credited with popularizing the game worldwide, thanks to his incredible golf career.

However, his trophy-laden career shadows Woods’ stupendous amateur days. The talented golfer grabbed all the attention during his stunning rise to the top, but it looks like someone is poaching into the legend’s earliest records.

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.
