For the first time ever, the best women golfers in the world are headed to the Monterey Peninsula and Pebble Beach Golf Links for the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open.
The storylines are plentiful with Amy Olson playing while seven months pregnant, Michelle Wie West teeing it up for the final time as a professional and Rose Zhang being the outright betting favorite.
In two LPGA starts this season, the former Stanford star won the Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National and tied for eighth at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in her first major start as a pro. Zhang is listed at 12/1 at several sportsbooks.
