The 20-year-old Stanford University graduate will be partnering with 25-year-old PGA Tour golfer Sahith Theegala for an upcoming event. The duo has been training in the gym together for their first outing together.

In fact, it was Theegala who roped her in for the Grant Thornton Invitational series, impressed with the way Zhang plays. The two run a mutual admiration society, and Sahith especially is all praise for the LPGA rookie.

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.
