Rose Zhang has the solo lead heading into the final round of the Mizuho Americas Open in her LPGA debut and is transcending the sport already.
Rose Zhang won her second straight individual national championship less than two weeks ago. Incredibly, the 20-year-old entered the final day as the solo leader in her LPGA debut at the Mizuho Americas Open.
Ahead of her round on Sunday, she is trending on Twitter, and people are talking about her. What she is doing is unheard of and downright incredible.
Sahith Theegala had been playing some really good golf over the past few months. He finished ninth at The Masters and posted a Top 5 in the RBC Heritage. He hasn’t missed a cut since October.
But things didn’t go as planned at this week’s Memorial Tournament. Though, Theegala did keep his cut streak alive. He shot a four-over 76 in the first round, but managed to bounce back with a two-under 70 on Friday to get past the 36-hole cut.
But a 73 in round three assured that he wasn’t going to make a run at the championship. And, on Sunday, he started out well.

Auburn baseball entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 13 seed after going 34-21-1 during the 2023 season. Although the Tigers had a strong year, there was some commotion around their seeding, and the seeding of other SEC teams— especially considering who was in charge.
Auburn athletic director John Cohen sits on the NCAA’s Division I Baseball Selection Committee. Was there bias toward the south in his decision making? That is up for interpretation.
However, Cohen did admit after the bracket was released that he does not have much familiarity with the Northeast.
José Siri has settled into his role as the Rays’ center fielder, frequently making stellar defensive plays for front-running Tampa Bay. However, his name can be trouble for announcers, or even listeners, if an iPhone is nearby.
Red Sox radio announcer Joe Castiglione was announcing Saturday’s Rays-Red Sox game on WEEI-FM as Siri was at the plate during a key moment in the game.
“First and second, still only one out for José Siri, four men reached base, two have scored,” Castiglione said on air.
