Young American golfer Rose Zhang is on a high, as she is all set to conquer the world of golf. The 20-year-old Stanford University graduate will be partnering with 25-year-old PGA Tour golfer Sahith Theegala for an upcoming event.

In a video posted by a fitness page on Instagram, Rose Zhang can be seen with fellow American golfer Sahith Theegala. The two are preparing for the Grant Thornton Invitational series, which will be held in December 2023 in Naples, Florida. 

The focus of Zhang is visible, as she trains alongside her golfing partner, who is equally dedicated to the exercise. The video shows multiple days of training with various forms of exercises.

The post by Fitmotionlab is captioned as, “Check out LPGA and PGA champion golfers Rose Zhang and Sahith Theegala in action as they gear up for the Grant Thornton Invitational in December. The inaugural mixed team event features some of the biggest names in golf and team #TheLab is sure to make some noise. FitMotionLab – Where Champions Train”.

The Grant Thornton Invitational 2023 is a PGA-LPGA tour event. Rose Zhang will team up with Sahith Theegala for the first time.

Sahith Theegala impressed with Rose Zhang

Earlier, Theegala told Sports Illustrated about Zhang, “I half-jokingly asked her [to team up] before she even turned pro. Playing chess out here.” He thinks the LPGA amateur is “such a beast” of a player.

“It’s so impressive how she shuts out all the noise and just plays her game. She goes about her business. She’s a straight baller. She seems like such a hard worker, too,” he observed.

Rose Zhang was a college-level champion at Stanford, and won several NCAA titles to overtake golf legend Tiger Woods at that level. The Ivy League student turned professional earlier this year and a few days later won the Mizuho Americas Open. Since then she has gone from strength to strength.
