She earned spots in the U.S. Women's Open next year at Riviera and the U.S. Women's Amateur this year and next. 'It really means a lot. I just can't believe that I won,' Deng said. 'I didn't really think about the end result because I knew there were a lot of good players here. I just tried to win each match.'

I learned that I'm pretty consistent and I'm pretty good, and I think that I stay pretty calm in front of a crowd and cameras.'

Chinese Man Accused Of Groping Woman While Performing CPR On Busy Street
Last Updated: A local teachers' organisation conducted an internal investigation into Pan, but no formal charges were filed against him A 42-year-old Chinese man is under investigation after people accused him of groping a woman while performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on her. The woman collapsed on a street in Hengyang, central Hunan province, leading a female doctor to rush to her aid and begin chest compressions. When the doctor grew tired, she called for help. The man, Pan, stepped in, saying that he had a degree in clinical medicine and CPR training. Together, the two took turns performing chest compressions for about ten minutes. The doctor monitored the woman's vitals and instructed a relative to call an ambulance, as per The South China Morning Post. Their joint effort revived the woman, who regained a weak pulse, opened her eyes, and was taken to the hospital for further treatment. Soon, a video of Pan and the doctor went viral on the internet, where some users alleged that his hand placement during CPR was inappropriate. Facing criticism despite giving a much-needed medical treatment, Pan told the media, 'I am afraid. If I had known I would be punished, I would not have taken the initiative to help. I am so painfully disappointed," as per South China Morning Post. 'If my CPR techniques were incorrect, the medical personnel would have mentioned it out. But so far, no one has." Many others also came out in support of Pan and praised him for his good Samaritan behaviour. According to reports, a local teachers' organisation conducted an internal investigation into Pan, but no formal charges were filed against him. One of the witnesses, a man named Deng, defended Pan's behaviour and stated that the situation was 'critical," and that no one believed Pan groped her chest. Research by American Heart Association and St John Ambulance finds many bystanders, particularly men, hesitate to perform CPR on women due to fears of being accused of inappropriate touching or sexual assault. One study found that such fears contribute to lower CPR rates for women (39%) compared to men (45%). view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 18:24 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Hero or villain? Chinese man accused of misconduct after giving CPR to unconscious woman, says feels 'frightened'
A Chinese man, who helped the woman gain consciousness after performing CPR, has faced a wave of online backlash, with some netizens accusing him of inappropriately touching her chest. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now On July 12, the man in Hengyang, located in central Hunan province in China, performed CPR on a woman who suddenly lost consciousness. The CPR was first given by a woman from a local hospital. When she got tired of doing it, she asked others if they knew how to perform the procedure. Pan, a 42-year-old medical school teacher at a local university, was cycling nearby. He immediately volunteered to help, explaining that he held a clinical medicine degree and had undergone CPR training. Pan and the doctor alternated administering CPR to the woman, as reported by SCMP. The doctor was also checking her vital signs and told a family member to call an ambulance. After about ten minutes, the woman began to breathe weakly, regained a pulse, and opened her eyes. An ambulance arrived, and the woman was accompanied by her relative to the hospital. After the video went viral, people started saying that Pan is touching her inappropriately. 'He is groping her chest,' one online observer said. 'It is better to let a female apply CPR,' said another. While a third person added, 'Why is it necessary to press on her chest? How about just massaging her belly?' The incident further gained attention when the man expressed how bad he felt and how fearful he was after seeing the harsh comments, in an interview with the media, as reported by Jiupai News. 'I feel frightened. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If I had known that I would be rebuked, I would not have taken the initiative to help. I am so bitterly disappointed,' Pan told the media. He said he did his best to place his hands correctly on the woman's sternum. 'If my CPR skills were wrong, the medical staff would have pointed it out. But so far no one has,' said Pan. A large number of people showed their support for Pan's helpful efforts online. A witness named Deng said, 'The situation was critical. No one thought about whether he had groped her chest or not." 'The woman fainted and lost consciousness. They saved her through their efforts,' said Deng. An online observer defended Pan and said, 'In such an emergency, saving life is the priority. There is no time to consider whether it should be a male or a female to save her.'
