At the press conference after the match, Zhang answered questions related to her performance on the greens at the Maybank Championship. The golfer was asked about her caddie, Ollie Brett, who worked for many years with Danielle Kang, and now seems to be working with the 20-year-old. Admitting to having fun playing with Brett, she said, “Ollie is incredible.”

Talking about her relationship with the caddie, the player added that she always knew the two were compatible because Brett is a wonderful person. She added, “I knew he was a great person, to begin with, so when we kind of got together and talked a little bit about the game. I just felt like everything clicked.” 

Continuing, the young player added, “I’m really happy that he’s on my bag this week. We’re just having a good time.” 

It sure does seem like Zhang is having a good time on the greens, especially considering her performance so far on the maiden tourney. Here’s a quick glimpse of how she’s been on the course.
