AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Injured Stanford golfer Rachel Heck was watching the opening rounds of the Augusta National Women's Amateur on TV at her parents' home in Memphis, Tennessee, earlier this week.
When Cardinal teammate Rose Zhang grabbed what seemed like a commanding 5-shot lead after 36 holes, Heck knew she had to be there to watch Zhang try to complete what has been called the "amateur grand slam."
Instead of spending the rest of her spring break at home and flying back to California, Heck took a detour to Augusta National Golf Club on Friday.
