The 2023 Women's PGA Championship is underway. The second round is underway on Friday, June 23, with all eyes on tour newcomer Rose Zhang. She was a prolific golfer at Stanford winning the NCAA Division 1 Championship in both 2022 and 2023. She followed that up by winning her professional debut at the Americas Open earlier this month.
This is Zhang's first major as a pro, and she enters the second round tied for 11th at -1 and will tee off Friday at 2:01 p.m. ET.

Entering the tournament, Atthaya Thitikul was the favorite to win at DraftKings Sportsbook. The 20-year-old was installed at +1100 and was followed by Nelly Korda with +1200 odds. Despite it being the first major of her pro golf career, Zhang entered with +1800 odds to win.
As an amateur, Zhang had eight major appearances. Her best finish came at the 2020 Chevron Championship when she finished tied for 11th. Barring a meltdown in the second round, Zhang should make the cut, already solidifying this appearance as quite the pro debut for the phenom.
