Chances are you were too busy to pay attention to golf last weekend. Maybe you were travelling, maybe you spent quality time with family and friends, maybe you were at the footy or nursing a mid-winter hangover. Hell, maybe you actually played golf. It’s nice to dream, isn’t it?
Whatever the case, it’s totally understandable if you missed some of the comings and goings on Golf Twitter and beyond. If so, don’t worry, we’re here to help. There are two main things you need to know from the weekend that was: Rickie Fowler won for the first time in 1,610 days and Rose Zhang is a wizard, ‘arry.

The first time you watch this you might miss it. It’s easy to get distracted by Pebble Beach’s iconic seventh hole. Zhang’s move is cocoa-butter smooth and she sticks to it 10 feet. There’s a lot going on. But watch it again and focus on her tee. WTFFFFF. Needless to say, the LPGA rookie phenom cannot miss right now.
So there you go, now you’ve seen the most viral golf moment last weekend. Now you’re up to speed with the rest of the golf world. Well, almost. Zhang is the favourite heading into the US Women’s Open at Pebble Beach at about 12-1. You might want to jump on that before the line moves, because the tournament hasn’t even started and she’s already getting all the bounces.
