Rose Zhang’s Manifestations Go Unfulfilled as Solheim Cup Veteran Danielle Kang Wins the Favor of Her Dream Partner

LPGA sensation Rose Zhang earlier this year made a remarkable professional debut at the Mizuho Americas Open, leaving an indelible mark. She’s now all geared up for the Solheim Cup, scheduled at Finca Cortesin Costa del Sol, Andalucia, Spain from today.

The mutual admiration between the US team players is set to shine through the tournament. Zhang expressed her eagerness to partner with a particular player. Sadly, that player has been paired with Danielle Kang.

Zhang left disappointed after not getting her wish

The 2023 Solheim Cup’s inaugural round tees off from today, with the starting pairings now locked in. Notably, Team USA seems to be prioritizing seasoned players over emerging talents in their pairing strategy.

Two rising icons in the sport, world No. 2 Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang, will sit out the morning segment. Yet, the pair could make an appearance in the afternoon’s four-ball session.

In a pre-tournament interview, Andrea Lee had shared her goodwill toward fellow Stanford player Rose Zhang. “Yeah, it’s a really special experience to share this with Rose. We didn’t play in college together… but she’s an incredible player, so the fact that she qualified on her own this year is pretty amazing.” 

Rose had also mentioned her desire to play with Andrea as she mentioned, “We are Stanford alums. I’ve watched her play growing up playing amateur golf. We’ve been able to create a bond together so it’ll be fun to share the week with her.” However, according to the team captain Stacy Lewis, Andrea Lee now has asked her to be paired with Danielle Kang, in what now must be heart-breaking for Zhang.

All geared up for the most awaited game

A few golfers will debut at the Solheim Cup this year, immersing themselves in the grandeur of the event. Among the newcomers is LPGA sensation Rose Zhang. Her last-minute entry was secured with a stellar T-13 finish at the CPKC Women’s Open, ensuring her spot in this esteemed competition.
