Golf's latest sensation, Rose Zhang shot a four over par 76 score for the first day and is yet to tee off for the second round. The former Stanford player saw a stretch of bogeys yesterday that placed her tied for 83rd place. She will need an under par score today to make the cut at the Major championship.

Out of the top 10 ranked players in the world, nine sit inside the cut like with the majority standing within contention. Rose Zhang, ranked ninth on the Rolex Rankings is the only player to stand outside the cut line at the 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
Will Nelly Korda make the cut at the 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship?
World No. 1 Nelly Korda sits well within contention at the 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Korda will tee off the second round of the Major championship at 1:28 PM.
With an opening round of three under par 69, the LPGA star is guaranteed to make the cut as she sits tied for fifth place with Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom. Sagtrom is more than halfway through the second round, giving Korda a solid chance to shoot up the leaderboard.
The 25 -year-old won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship for the first time in 2021 and seeks to earn the third Major title of her career this week. As she looks to secure her 15th LPGA Tour victory, Nelly Korda is the only former winner of the tournament in the top five of the leaderboard and is the fan favourite to win despite missing the cut at her last two starts at the Meijer LPGA Classic last week and the US Women's Open.
