Chinese Taipei golf legend Zeng Yani has good news! She competed in the 2025 U.S. Open Women's Open Qualifying Exam in Arizona on May 5, and after a 36-hole challenge, she made it to the five-man playoff with a total score of 70-71 and finally won one of only two spots in the tournament. She will travel to Ignition Golf Club in Wisconsin on May 29 to challenge for the biggest major of the year.
Zeng Yani qualified for the US Open
This is Zeng's second entry into the U.S. Women's Open after a long absence, and it is of great significance to her career. Zeng Yani has won three Grand Slam titles in the past, but she has yet to win the US Women's Open. This competition is an important step towards her dream of a "career Grand Slam".
Zeng Yani said after the game: "This moment is not easy to come by, this is an affirmation of myself, and it is also a reward for not giving up on my dream. I will do my best with gratitude and fighting spirit. In recent years, Zeng Yani has experienced injuries, psychological slumps and technical transformations, and recently even switched to a left-handed putt to challenge a new style of play. The success of this qualifying tournament is the best proof of her continuous self-breakthrough and hard work, and also shows her perseverance and resilience in the face of challenges. At that time, her return is bound to become the focus of attention of the global media and fans.
Chinese Taipei's new generation player Hou Yusang also successfully advanced, and the two generations of players advanced on the same field, which is exciting. The 2025 U.S. Women's Open is expected to attract global attention, and Zeng's return to the stage is worth the fans' expectations.
