Rose Zhang is one of the leading and most dynamically emerging LPGA sensations. Ever since she won her debut in the Mizuho Americas Open, the golfer has been the talk of the town. She is currently in France, preparing for the fourth major of the women’s golf season, The Amundi Evian Championship. The event is also one of the last few events where female golfers can accumulate points and try to improve their ranking to qualify for the Solheim Cup.

Zhang is now all set to tee off and try to grab her first major victory while also collecting the precious points to qualify for the prestigious international event. Amid the hustle, the 20-year-old has shared what qualifying for the Solheim Cup would mean to her. However, her focus is certainly not on the qualification itself!

Rose Zhang is excited about the historic Solheim Cup, irrespective of the rankings 

The Stanford star has been one of the most prominent American golfers ever since her amateur days. Her amateur career is quite decorated, and currently, she is on a mission to make her pro career just as decorated. In her pre-round conference, during the $6.5 million major, she was asked about how much it would mean to her if she could qualify for the upcoming Solheim Cup.

Answering the question, the golfer said that “it would be a dream” to qualify for the USA team and to be able to play in the prestigious event. She shared how there is nothing better than representing your country with some stunning teammates and celebrating the pride of the American flag.
