Rose Zhang is a rising star in golf. And since her debut win at the Mizuho Americas Open in June, she has been the talk of the town. She is currently at the Walton Heath Club in Surrey, playing in the AIG Women’s Open.

144 players are eyeing the $9 million purse. In her interview after the second round, Rose Zhang, who turned pro days before Mizuho, shares a special feeling ahead of a prestigious competition in Spain next month. Let’s find out what she has shared.

Rose Zhang is excited about the September challenge

With many accomplishments already in her pocket, the young and rising Rose Zhang is eyeing another event before 2023 concludes. She marked her LPGA debut win in June and will now be representing the USA in Solheim Cup in September.

She will fly to Spain with her family. Interestingly, this is not the first time Zhang will represent her country. In her media interview at the Walton Heath Club, she talked about what she is looking forward to in Spain next month.

“Oh, I’m so excited. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been a junior golfer and I’ve played in two junior Solheim Cups, so just getting to experience those weeks definitely made this event special in my heart. Playing for the U.S. is always something special and it’s what all athletes want to do, represent their country, so for me to do that, especially now, I’m really excited,” she said.

Ever since Rose Zhang got on the radar of the golf world, she has been delivering stunning performances. She is both competitive and determined. In a way, her spirit on the greens is beautiful to watch. Especially, her famous swing, which she has worked on a lot to master.

Apart from the tournament itself, what also attracts the free-spirited Zhang is the beauty of Spain and all the food she would be served there. The participating golfers will reportedly be staying in one of the best hotels there.

The USA team for Solheim Cup 2023

The Solheim Cup will begin in two months. Much like the men’s Ryder Cup, also scheduled for September. It will also be contested by two teams — Team USA and Team Europe. The competition this year will be held at Andalucia.

Once dominated by America, for the last few years, the competition is swinging in Europe’s favor. They have won four of last six cups. Recently, the Instagram handle of the Solheim Cup released its Team USA. The line-up is packed with top players, and Rose Zhang has also made it to the list.

The qualifying period for the cup in 2023 began with the 2021 Portland Classic. It will conclude after the 2023 CP Women’s Open, scheduled for the last week of August. Players showcase their best game and try to accumulate points throughout the qualifying events designated by the LPGA.
