Rose Zhang finally delivered again Sunday, birdieing four of the final five holes to win the Cognizant Founders Cup. She beat Madelene Sagstrom by two strokes while putting an official end to Nelly Korda's record-tying LPGA Tour winning streak.
CLIFTON, N.J. — Great things have been expected from Rose Zhang from the moment the two-time NCAA champion won in her professional debut last year and joined the LPGA Tour the following week.
“But no matter what happened this week, I would’ve been very satisfied and it reignited my passion for the game once again,” she added after winning on Mother’s Day. Zhang, who shot a 6-under 66, birdied Nos. 14, 15, 17 and 18 at Upper Montclair Country Club, while Sagstrom bogeyed the 16th in finished two back.
“But just to do that with all the competition out here is super, super rewarding with how much work that I’ve put in,” the 25-year-old Korda said. “So I think to get a streak like that in any sport in general is amazing with the amount of talent that I feel like every athlete has in their sport. Just an amazing feeling and hopefully one day it’ll sink in.”
