Angela Zhang – a 14-year-old golf phenom from Bellevue – earned a spot in the U.S. Women’s Open after surviving a four-for-two playoff at sectional qualifying at Shannopin Country Club in Pittsburgh, Pa. on Tuesday. FOX13

Zhang, who turned 14 on May 5, sank a 25-foot putt for birdie on the second playoff hole to punch her ticket to the U.S. Women’s Open, which will be held at Pebble Beach Golf Links July 6-9.

Zhang posted scores of 70 and 73 over the 36-hole qualifier on the 6,250-yard, par 71 layout at Shannopin Country Club. She finished regulation play tied with three other players for the best score of the day. However, only two players would make it through to Pebble Beach. Zhang and former USC golfer and Epson Tour pro Amelia Garvey survived the playoff to clinch the two spots.

In total, Zhang won four American Junior Golf Association tournaments and seven Washington Junior Golf Association tournaments in 2022. Already this year Zhang has won two more WJGA tournaments, finished as medalist in stroke play at the WJGA Match Play, and qualified as co-medalist for the IMG Academy Junior World championship.

Zhang will be back at the Home Course beginning this weekend for the U.S. Women’s Four-Ball championship. Zhang and fellow 14-year old Alice Ziyi Zhao earned medalist honors in qualifying for the event last September.
