SAN FRANCISCO – Will Jennifer Kupcho’s ace-propelled closeout in her final nine holes at the U.S. Women’s Open turn into an extraordinary comeback for the weekend?
Kupcho’s round looked like it was trending towards a heart-breaking missed cut after shooting 6-over-par 41 on her front nine. But if anyone knows anything about Kupcho – who often goes by Kup around her friends – it’s that she’s a comeback star. In 2018, when Kup – who went to college at Wake Forest University – won the NCAA Individual title held at Stillwater Country Club, she was 3 over par after a nail-biting first nine holes.
