Who won Mizuho Americas Open 2023? Winner and final leaderboard explored

Rose Zhang created history on Sunday at the Mizuho Americas Open 2023, becoming the first player since Beverly Hanson in 1951 to prevail on her LPGA pro debut. Zhang beat Jennifer Kupcho in the second extra hole, as both were tied at 9-under after 72 holes.

Zhang, who had a 54-hole lead, wasn't at her best on Sunday, as she carded a 2-over 74 that comprised no birdies but two bogeys. Kupcho had a better final round as she posted a 3-under 69 to jump four spots and equal Zhang after four rounds.

Both Zhang and Kupcho made par on the first playoff hole, the 18th. On the second extra hole, Kupcho's first putt went over, and then she missed the second putt as well. Zhang, on the other hand, holed it for par to register her first LPGA victory.

"I just can't believe it," Zhang was quoted as per ESPN. "It was just last week when I won NCAAs with my teammates, and to turn pro and come out here, it's just been amazing."

The 20-year-old Stanford sophomore bagged $412,500 for her win at the Mizuho Americas Open 2023.

South Korean rookie Hae Ran Ryu posted a 2-under 70 in the final round to finish third at 8-under. Aditi Ashok slipped two spots after carding a 2-over 74 to conclude at T-4 alongside Ayaka Furue and Eun-Hee Ji at 7 under.
