Golf Digest Top 50 Teacher in America Trillium Rose says that tee height doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. “Generally, everyone says tee it up high.

The 30-year-old major champion said that after curling in a birdie putt on the 13th hole at Qizhong Garden Golf Club, she ran to a bathroom and threw up, the likely after effects of a stomach bug. She came back out and made three more birdies before posting a five-under 67. At nine under for the tournament, she is one shot off Maja Stark’s lead heading into the weeke…
