Zhang’s second Solheim Cup appearance went a lot better than her first last year in Spain, where she admitted she struggled to get comfortable while going 0-2-1 at Finca Cortesin. On home soil, she had a historic week.

Zhang had finished her singles match and was out cheering as Lilia Vu scored the final half-point the Americans needed to win the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017. Zhang’s performance was critical for the U.S. in Virginia, and it feels like she’ll be critical for her country for many more years to come.
