2023 has been the breakout year for Rose Zhang. After getting international recognition she turned pro at the age of 20. Moreover, she won her own professional debut event and made history. The feat was last achieved by Beverly Hanson in 1951. And last week she played in the Solheim Cup for Team US.
All these incredible feats have secured her position as the new fan favorite and she enjoys much love and adoration from them. And the fans have created some nicknames for themselves. Before playing in the Solheim, Zhang appeared in the Grill Room with GOLF.com’s Claire Rogers who addressed this issue.
There Rogers asked her, “So you have some fan bases. We’ve been hearing Zhang Gang, Rose Buds. Can you settle it once and for all?” To this, the young prodigy answered that she actually preferred two names. “Zhang Gang for the inner-circle squad. Rose Buds for everyone who’s supporting me outside.” When Rogers asked if she was in her inner circle squad, Rose said yes.
Clearly, Zhang recognizes the love and support from her fans as well as friends from the golf fraternity which has helped her to shine.
