As the US Solheim Cup Team continues to script their dominance, new faces have registered their names on the list. One among them is none other than the fan-favorite, Rose Zhang. Having had an exceptional season as a professional and amateur, the addition of Zhang in the American rooster was no surprise. This became even more evident as the young golfer took her first shot in the first round of the fourball event.
Prior to this, the golfer was merely a spectator as American golfers orchestrated history at the Finca Cortesin Golf Course. However, soon came the time to put on the shoes of responsibility, and the 20-year-old handled them with utmost perfection. The indication of this was clearly visible as even the viewers online couldn’t help but honor the precision of the young LPGA star, comparing her with the legendary Tiger Woods.

It is no news that Rose Zhang in her style of play and control on the field has often been compared to the legendary golfer Tiger Woods. However, this time the star has gained this reputed resemblance after her first-day display of skills at the Solheim Cup. Aligning the rising prodigy to the veteran star, Tiger Woods, golf admirers couldn’t help but compare the two in their common style of playing and approaching a pressure-some situation.
One of them analyzing the gameplay commented about the future of the young golfer “Rose Zhang is gunna be the female Tiger Woods. Electric factory”:

A spectator even went as far as to call her shot the “most impressive moment” of the 2023 Solheim Cup up until now. He highlighted how the golf star had shown extreme maturity in approaching the birdie and made it seem all too easy on the difficult field:
Perhaps the most impressive moment of the #SolheimCup2023 so far:

Alas! Rose Zhang wasn’t part of this historic sweep. However, now the heads have turned toward the four fourballs and the opening pair from Team USA itself featured Rose Zhang and Megan Kang. Until now, the pairing seems to be working just fine for the guests. Both Zhang and Khang have birdied two holes; especially the first tee shot that witnessed brilliant putting from both golfers.
