JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Much was expected of Rose Zhang when she turned professional last week, and she is already delivering.
The two-time NCAA champion moved into position to win in her pro debut, shooting a 6-under 66 on Saturday to take a 2-shot lead into the final round of the Mizuho Americas Open.
"I've been in this position before, but I haven't been in this position as a professional, since this is my first week, so I'm really just learning everything that I could," Zhang said. "Tomorrow, I'll be just trying to figure out what it feels like to be in the final group, navigate my way through, and I'm sure by the end of the day I'll be able to, you know, just build my character more.
