Meet your 2020 U.S. Women’s Amateur Champion, Rose Zhang! 17 year old Rose Zhang, finished T14 in the 36 Hole Stroke Play portion of the with rounds of 74-71 (+1) with a wrist injury that kept her from practicing for 10 days prior to the competition. After each day of play, Rose would retire to her hotel and ice her wrist and continue her Ibuprofen medication to mediate any stiffness or pain as much as possible. Rose’s mental game (mentored by her father) carried the week for her that allowed her to win the Amateur with her B game.

Rose will attend Stanford University in the fall of 2021 and will continue her goal of getting better and chasing her dream to play at Stanford and play professional golf on the LPGA, when she is ready.

Juniors Gallery

At the George Pinnell Golf Academy a primary objective is to identify and develop young players who may have a desire to play golf at an elite level. Therefore we put an emphasis on player development starting at a young age. For the younger youths we want to emphasize that playing golf should be fun, so our teaching is based on having fun while still learning the skill sets that are required to play at the elite level’s. When we think a player is ready, we introduce them and their parent’s to tournament golf. If the youngster perform’s well at the local level, then we introduce them to the AJGA (American Junior Golf Association) where they can play against players at a national level. If they are successful and want to continue to compete, we help them and counsel them towards playing golf at the collegiate level.
