Rose Zhang 'super blessed' to play for U.S. at Solheim Cup
Rose Zhang has already compiled a lengthy list of accomplishments at just 20 years old.
Two-time NCAA champion, Stanford's all-time wins leader and No. 1-ranked amateur and LPGA Tour winner are among them.
What Zhang wasn't anticipating was a spot on the United States Solheim Cup team as a rookie. However, that became almost a certainty after Zhang was given a sponsors invite into the Mizuho Americas Open in June and went on to become the first player since 1951 to win in her LPGA debut.
Three months later, Zhang is in Spain for the first time in her life as part of captain Stacy Lewis' 12-woman team that will take on Team Europe in this week's Solheim Cup.
