Megha Ganne, a senior at Stanford University, is making her professional golf debut this week at the U.S. Women's Open, held at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades. With her graduation scheduled for next week, Ganne's transition follows her recent contribution to Stanford's NCAA Championship win. This is her fourth appearance in the U.S. Women's Open, but the first time competing as a professional. Ganne previously finished T-14 in the tournament as a high school junior and feels excited to take on the challenge alongside experienced players such as Michelle Wie West and Lydia Ko.
