17-year old high school junior captivates crowd, caps dream week with low amateur honors at U.S. Women's Open
With some of the biggest stars on the LPGA in close proximity, the largest fan following stuck with Ganne, whose biggest win of the year came just a few weeks ago when she captured the Girls’ 15-18 Division in the Scott Robertson Memorial in Roanoke, Va. Feeding off the persistent chants of, “Ganne, Ganne, Ganne,” she kept her composure and played herself into the final grouping with a 1-over 72.An unforgettable week from 17-year-old Megha Ganne!

At 3-under par, Ganne entered Sunday’s final round four off the lead and tied for third place, but some wayward drives that nestled in Olympic’s unforgiving rough and too many nervy chip shots caught up to her and she quickly fell out of contention on the front nine. She eventually carded a 6-over score of 77, which left her tied for 14th place at 6-over 287. Her par putt on 18 was met with another raucous cheer normally reserved for a champion – and was returned with an ear-to-ear smile and a hearty wave to an endearing crowd that had adopted her as their own.New Jersey's own Megha Ganne is on absolute fire at the #USWomensOpen. Megha – all of New Jersey is behind you as you continue to dominate the leaderboard!
