Rose Zhang on being betting favorite for the US Women's Open 2023

As mentioned above, Rose Zhang is the betting favorite at the US Women's Open 2023. The young golfer recently came out to state that she wasn’t expected to top the odds picks. The golfer, who won her LPGA Tour debut tournament and finished top 10 at the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, said that she is ‘honored’ to be picked above big-name players.

Speaking on Golf Channel's Live on Tuesday, Rose Zhang said:

“It’s just such an honor to be a betting favorite. I would’ve never imagined myself to be in this position starting out last month, but it’s really cool. As always, I still have pretty low expectations for what I’m going to do when I’m out there.”

It is pertinent to note that Rose Zhang has earned a special exemption to the major tournament. The golfer, who defended her NCAA Individual Championship earlier in May, will be eyeing her big break as a pro golfer this week.
