Rose Zhang lived up to the hype this weekend, becoming the first player since 1951 to win on the LPGA Tour in her pro debut.

Driving the news: Just 13 days after winning the individual NCAA championship at Stanford, the 20-year-old captured the Mizuho Americas Open in Jersey City, N.J.

• Zhang beat Jennifer Kupcho in a playoff, with the lower Manhattan skyline serving as the backdrop.
• 🎥 ICYMI: Her gorgeous approach shot on the tournament-winning hole.

The big picture: Zhang was the best amateur women's golfer ever, spending a record 141 weeks at No. 1 and becoming the first woman to win two NCAA individual titles. Now, she's undefeated as a pro.

• Sunday's victory was worth $412,500 and earned Zhang an automatic LPGA Tour membership, which she accepted.
• "It's just incredible," she said. "I can't even imagine the opportunities ahead of me. I'm just thankful to be along for the ride."

Speaking of golf prodigies … 13-year-old Jaden Soong tees off today with a chance to become the youngest player ever to secure a spot in the U.S. Open.

The Heat beat the Nuggets, 111-108, on Sunday to even the NBA Finals and hand Denver its first home loss of the playoffs.

By the numbers: Gabe Vincent scored 23 points and Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo each had 21 to pace the Heat.

• Duncan Robinson scored all 10 of his points during a roughly two-minute spurt in the fourth quarter.
• Miami was down by as many as 15 points but used the deep ball to fight their way back (17-35 3PT).

The other side: Nikola Jokić had 41 points for the Nuggets, who are now 0-3 this postseason when he scores 40+ points (and 13-1 when he scores fewer than 40).

• The two-time MVP had just four assists, well below his playoff average of 10.5.
• Could the secret to success for Miami be turning Jokić, an elite playmaker, into more of a scorer? The numbers say yes, but Erik Spoelstra says no.

Looking ahead: After two high-altitude battles, the series shifts to sea level for Wednesday's Game 3 in Miami.

An American man hasn't won a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick won the 2003 U.S. Open. That streak won't end in Paris.

Driving the news: All 16 American men in this year's French Open field failed to make it past the third round.

• Lost in first round: No. 30 Ben Shelton, Brandon Nakashima, Maxime Cressy, Mackenzie McDonald, John Isner, Emilio Nava, Aleksandar Kovacevic, Patrick Kypson, Christopher Eubanks, Michael Mmoh, J.J. Wolf
• Lost in second round: No. 16 Tommy Paul, No. 24 Seb Korda
• Lost in third round: No. 9 Taylor Fritz, No. 12 Frances Tiafoe, Marcos Giron

Wild stat: No American man has reached the French Open quarterfinals since Andre Agassi in 2003, and just four have reached the fourth round.

Of note … American women haven't fared much better in Paris this year. Just three of 18 reached the fourth round (No. 6 Coco Gauff, Sloane Stephens, Bernarda Pera) and only Gauff remains.
