In 2023 the limelight of LPGA was steeled by young prodigy Rose Zhang. Though she has been playing for a long time she made a phenomenal and international entry in the golf world after she beat down Tiger Woods‘s old record. After that her winning the Mizuho Americas Open which was her debut event was a cherry on the top. After that Zhang continues to maintain an impressive golf record.

Rose Zhang is ready to head back to Stanford after LPGA is over

After the PGA Tour ended last month the LPGA Tour is about to end. With only three more tournaments remaining on its schedule for this year, the LPGA is reaching its end for 2023. This week is the Toto Japan Classic where Rose Zhang is performing. After that, Zhang will be skipping the Annika Driven by Gainbridge at Pelican and will be appearing in the final event CME Group Tour Champions, and then going back to college.

While attending the presser for the Toto Japan Classic she was questioned about the same. An interviewer asked Zhang how is she using this week and how will she use next week to prepare for the last event of the year. To this Zhang replied, “Exactly. So it’s been quite a long season in my opinion, even though I only started my LPGA season back in June. 

She continues, “But I’m excited to be able to just learn whatever I can from this week, and then next week have a little bit of time off. Probably go up to Stanford, figure out my school stuff right before I head there in the winter.”

Like many reputed golfers Zhang too goes to Stanford and is juggling her professional career and her studies at the same time.
