'She is a sage': How Rose Zhang helps fellow Stanford player Michael Thorbjornsen, who will hit the first shot at the U.S. Open

Mentions of Rose...

“Everything on that episode is true about Rose,” said Thorbjornsen of No Laying Up’s recent film on the Cardinal women’s team.



“She is a sage. She’s the youngest one there, but she’s definitely the wisest when it comes to golf. She knows exactly what she’s doing.”

Thorbjornsen said Zhang, 19, is always the first one at the school’s practice facility and often the last one to leave.



“My dad is my swing coach and he is obsessed with her swing,” he said. “So I’m always asking for pointers or asking like how things look because I’m almost trying to emulate her swing in a way.”

“She said rather than hitting 30-footers, 40-footers, just to focus on making everything inside of five feet so I won’t have to worry about hitting 30-footers five feet short or long.”
