If you’re impressed with local golfer Angela Zhang , join the club.
Hailing from Bellevue, the 14 year-old (yeah, you read that right) is competing in the prestigious US Women’s Open Championship this weekend at Pebble Beach.
This will be Angela’s first-ever professional event , although she’s already racked up a whole bunch of accomplishments as an amateur player.
She was the youngest player to compete at the Washington Women’s Amateur tournament (winning the last two), and holds a record at the Home Course in DuPont, Washington.
Going against pros in the Women’s Open Championship will be tough, but nothing seems to phase this eighth-grader. Consider that Tiger Woods didn’t compete in his first PGA tournament until the ripe old age of 16 . Pshhhh.
You can watch Angela tee off in the first round at Pebble Beach today at 2:46 p.m., streaming on Peacock and later on the USA Network .
