The LPGA Tour season may have come to an end, but the stars leaving the headlines will never cease. The young LPGA Tour golfer Rose Zhang has had a successful season in the league with a game that has gained her cuts throughout and her first LPGA Tour victory. As the players settle into the holiday season, Zhang has also been having a good time off the greens. 

The golfer is currently preparing for her showdown in Florida next weekend at the Grant Thornton Invitational. Prior to raking the tourney greens, Zhang updated the world about her endeavors beyond the greens. A good meal and Coco Gauff cameo might not have been the combination we all expected, but that’s exactly what the player has been up to lately. 

Rose Zhang’s leisure moments and star-studded encounters

Rose Zhang’s year on the pro golfing tour started big. She made cut after cut with multiple top-10 finishes and eventually landed herself in the first leaderboard spot for a period of 141 weeks straight. Not just that, the player secured herself her very first LPGA Tour victory at the Mizuho Americas Open in June in a play-off. 

After achieving all these big feats, the golfer has been enjoying her time off the course with her family. In the recent series of events, Zhang posted about her outing with her parent on her Instagram. The perfect daughter went on a dinner with her mum and dad and posted the picture featuring the food and the company on her IG story, she wrote: “the cutest.”

The story that followed the dinner date moment was that of the golfer rubbing shoulders with American tennis player Coco Gauff. Zhang had a fan-girl moment as she stood beside the young 19-year-old athlete. She added a little text to her picture on the top corner that read: “@cocogauff absolute inspiration,” with two heart emojis. 

It’s clear that Zhang has been positively rejuvenating before she takes the greens for one last time this season with her PGA Tour partner Sahith Theegala next week. The pair is among the top anticipated ones at the maiden event. And so, excitement is all built up. What now awaits is to see how their game unfolds.
