SUB 60 HEADLINES

After placing in the top-10 6 times this season, Viktor Hovland won the playoff hole against Denny McCarthy and came out victorious at The Memorial Tournament this weekend, winning his 4th PGA tournament in his career. The young Norwegian golfer celebrated just like anyone else who just won $3.6 million by caddying for his friend and former OSU roommate on Golf’s Longest Day. Viktor, a true pal.

WINNERS FROM LAST WEEK

NCAA GOLF HEADLINES

The University of Florida Men’s Golf team defeated Georgia Tech this past Wednesday to win the Mens’s NCAA Team Championship. The team win comes after Florida Gator team member Fred Biondi’s individual NCAA title last week. Good time to be a Gator!

Wake Forest won the Women’s NCAA Team Championship with a convincing win over USC. This marks the programs first NCAA Women’s Golf Championship, an outstanding accomplishment for the team and National Coach of the year, Kim Lewellen.

GOLFER OF THE WEEK 🌹

Rose Zhang made history Sunday, winning her very first LPGA tournament start — 72 years since such a feat was last accomplished. The victory in her pro debut (in a playoff, no less) earned her automatic LPGA Tour membership, and signaled the beginning of a new era in women’s golf.

As an amateur at Stanford, Rose held the top-ranked spot for 141 weeks, and was able to win every important amateur event: the U.S. Women’s Amateur, the U.S. Junior Girls, the NCAAs, and finally, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Well done Rose. It appears she is well on her way to bigger and better things.
