SAN FRANCISCO – Megha Ganne will be known as more than low amateur at the 2021 U.S. Open at Olympic Club. The 17-year-old became a new idol to hundreds young girls this week.
Ganne used to be that wide-eyed little girl asking for autographs, and now she’s the one signing the hats, balls, and flags.
“It's my favorite part of the whole week,” said Ganne at Saturday’s press conference following her 1-over 72. “I love spending time with them and saying hello and just seeing their smiles.”
On Saturday, Ganne was counting down the hours until her final round paring with the American favorite Lexi Thompson and 19-year-old Yuka Saso from the Philippines.
