Behind a course record 63 by Rose Zhang, Stanford opens up a nine-stroke lead at the Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach
The Stanford sophomore carded a 9-under 63 on Saturday to set a new women's course record at the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links, helping the top-ranked Cardinal open up a nine-stroke lead over Texas A&M after two rounds of the Carmel Cup.
Brittany Lincicome set the previous record of 8-under 64 in 2021 at the 50th annual TaylorMade Pebble Beach Invitational, the only tournament that pits players from the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Korn Ferry Tours against each other.
Zhang's 13-under 131 through two rounds ties Rachel Heck's 36-hole school record, which was set at the 2022 Gunrock Invitational at Del Paso Country Club. It's also the second time in her collegiate career Zhang has broken a course record after shooting an 8-under 64 in the final round of the Juli Inkster Collegiate last March at the Meadow Club in Fairfax, Calif.
Stanford's highly-touted freshman Megha Ganne's collegiate career is off to a fast start, as the Holmdel, NJ native and Curtis Cup team member sits in third place at 6-under 138 after turning in her second consecutive 3-under round of 69.The putt for 6️⃣3️⃣!!
