LPGA Rookie Rose Zhang Gets Hard-Trolled By Mentor Michelle Wie West in a Hilarious Millennial Jab

Two of the favorite LPGA Tour stars had a hearty to-and-fro on how differently they have lived life. While one got nostalgic over her younger years, another tried to relate to her situation. Michelle Wie West and Rose Zhang share an adorable mentor-student relationship while being close friends.

Recently, a question asked by West stumped Zhang. The two are a generation apart and West took a hilarious jibe at Zhang to remind her of how unaware she was of millennial trends.

Michelle Wie West asks a simple question to Rose Zhang

In the LPGA Tour’s history, Michelle Wie West is undoubtedly the star and a legendary golfer. Although the 34-year-old retired sooner than most had expected, West has still kept the ties closer to the game and its players. From hosting her first-ever LPGA Tour event in 2023 to now showcasing her playful relationship with the Tour’s rookie, the golfer is enjoying it all.

Recently, the five-time LPGA Tour winner shared an incredibly back-to-age story on her Instagram. The video was about a millennial talking with Gen Z and explaining the trends from their younger years. Sharing the video on her handle, West posed a question to Rose Zhang.

She asked her, “Do you know what this is?” while laughing. The video talked about millennials using CDs and writing on them about songs and the new generation being unaware of them. Zhang was no different. She replied to West’s question and laughingly said, “HAHAHA, hmm, vaguely.”

The relationship between the two is utterly admirable as they met when one was parting away from the greens and one had just entered the arena. Through the fun mentor relationship, West also poured down some of the best advice to Zhang as she ventures ahead in her career.
