“I can rest a little bit more” - Rose Zhang misses her first cut as LPGA pro at the Dana Open 2023

Rose Zhang had a fantastic start to her professional career when she won the 2023 Mizuho Americas Open at the Liberty National in her first LPGA Tour event.

The American golfer has garnered a lot of attention in recent weeks due to her scorching performances. She, however, missed the first cut of her professional career at the 2023 Dana Open.

Rose Zhang struggled to make the predicted cut of -1 on Friday, July 14 at the LPGA Tour event, which runs from July 13 to July 16. She finished with a score of 143, two strokes short of the cut.

Zhang has had a hectic schedule for the previous few months, with her exhaustion hampering her performance.

"I will say that I’m a little more fatigued than I would like to be. I caught a cold, so my voice is not exactly the most normal right now. I will say that I had a nine-hour delay going from Phoenix, connecting flight to here. To Detroit actually. So it was a bit of a travel mess. I came in Tuesday morning at 3 a.m., so the practice rounds and the pro-am wawere little bit shaky for me. I’m glad that I played a solid round, and hopefully, I can rest a little bit more," Zhang said after the opening round on Thursday.

Rose Zhang got off to a terrific start in the 2023 Dana Open. She shot a first-round 5-under 66. On Friday, though, the LPGA Tour golfer battled with her game and finished with a score of 77.
