Rose Zhang has been a well-known name in the golf world for a while now. However, the high achiever has just begun her professional journey of conquest with the 2023 Mizuho Americas Cup. While she achieved mega feats as an amateur golfer at a young age, it hasn’t stopped her from cruising her professional career right now.

Arguably, the best women’s amateur golfer exhibited a dominant performance on the field of the $2.75 million event. However, in the face of a commanding win, Zhang wasted no time in announcing equally important news. This information is sure to challenge and improve the skills of the young golfer.

The rising prodigy Rose Zhang steps onto the LPGA

Sunday witnessed something extraordinary when a record was made after 72 years. After Beverly Hanson, Rose Zhang became the second golfer to win her professional debut tournament on the LPGA Tour. It appears that the former amateur golfer is making accomplishing historic feats an everyday habit. First, with two back-to-back NCAA titles just a few weeks ago, and now this!

The significant victory knocked with its fair share of opportunities. Among them, the most enthralling one is the membership of the Ladies Professional Golf Association. The information was shared by the 20-year-old herself while addressing the press. She said, “You guys will see me more on the LPGA Tour as I am taking membership from now on, and I will be playing in 2023.” The same was addressed by the official Instagram handle of the LPGA Tour with the caption, “Hot off the press 🎤”
