Hey, you: If you're not paying attention to what's going on with Rose Zhang, it's time.
Because we've got some Tiger Woods stuff going on here. I don't use that lightly, but it's true.
Because it was nearly two weeks ago that Zhang won a national title - a second one, mind you - for Stanford. That's right, 13 days ago, Zhang was a 20-year-old winning a second championship.
And then she won an LPGA tournament (the Mizuho Americas Open) on Sunday … in a playoff. How's THAT for pressure? That's the first win for a player making her LPGA debut since 1951.
Seriously. Time to pay attention.
So it's time to start following along if you haven't already.
Tiger did, on Twitter. So did a bunch of other PGA pros.
What we're witnessing here could be greatness if this keeps up. I know, I know: It's one tournament. She's only 20, and the pressure and attention on her may be sudden an A LOT.
Quick Hits: Heat win Game 2 … Marcell Ozuna stared instead of running … and more.
- The Heat won Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Jeff Van Gundy ranted about hugs, refs missed a blatant goaltending call, and all this talk of preventing Nikola Jokic from passing is "ridiculous" as Erik Spoelstra said.
- Sad Terrell Davis became a meme at the Nuggets game.
- Patrick Mahomes had a great reaction to learning he's one of the AFC's oldest QBs.
