We’re going to find out really fast if Rose is ready for the big show or if she was an amateur stud in need of seasoning.

Big show. Shes the surest lpga star since michelle wie was 14 and playing with the men. Even bigger than amateur lydia ko.

Is the putter a legitimate concern for her?
Rose will earn full status in this small number of events. (I hope)
Her dad gonna caddy for her?

Can’t agree with the Ko portion of this. She won multiple times as a teenager on Tour.
I’m pulling for Rose but she’s already behind Lydia.

From Perez’ article
Out of all 20 [collegiate] events, a total of only 31 players would beat Zhang.
That is completely bonkers

In her starts on the LPGA Tour and Majors, Rose Zhang will…
- Win a major
- Win a tournament
- Accrue enough CME points to get full LPGA status
- Not accrue enough points to get status (Q Series)

Can we have two polls? I need a heart and head option.

Wait, how many CME points are needed to get status?
I really hope she wins. The LPGA desperately needs a killer who actually lives up to her talent. The LPGA is full of talented golfers who just can’t take the next step and dominate. I would love Rose to do that.

Apparently it’s 40th.
The question I ask is if she’s a better golfer than A Lim Kim (US Open winner), Narin An (rookie), and Ally Ewing.
This is very true. It’s why I think Rose will end up at Q Series.
I am not rooting against her at all and would love to see her come in and challenge to be a top player.

If 900 points is the bar, thats significantly less likely than winning a major.
That’s a LOT of points. Edit to add math: she has to top 10 in every event or win two and never miss a cut.

Might just have to head out to the Dana Open this year.

All she has to do is win one regular event and she’s on tour (a major gets her 5 years).

I can’t trust her putter from what I’ve seen from her. Pulling for her but it’s streaky in the big events. If she gets hot with the putter though then I don’t see why she wouldn’t be capable of earning status. The other facets of her game seem ready.
That said, based on @jsg_nado, that’s a big ask. I think Q series is most realistic but looking for big things from her next year.

For sure, just pointing out the the points math. Will be rooting for a win because it’s q-series otherwise.
(I like her chances in Q-series)
I think the most interesting part of this right now is who is she putting on the bag?
