LPGA Tour rising star Rose Zhang spoke to Fox News Digital in a recent interview about the Tiger Woods comparisons and the advice she's receiving from golf vets.

"When it first initially became a thing where Tiger and I were in the same conversation, it was almost hard to believe because Tiger is arguably the greatest player to exist," she said."He completely modernized our game. It was such a high regard, and I was kind of flabbergasted by how people would compare me and him."
Starting her professional career with a win set high expectations for Zhang. She won the Mizuho Americas Open in a playoff against Jennifer Kupcho. "I’ve been really fortunate to have so many players support me and reach out to me, regardless of whether I had a question about something, whether it was building my team or just understanding how the LPGA schedule works," Zhang told Fox News Digital.
"Along those lines, Annika Sorenstam has always told, not only the press but even to me, where she would always have this line of ‘smell the roses.’ As cliché as it sounds, it’s much harder to do than actually to say. When you’re playing well, when things are happening in a whirlwind, when everything is going really quickly, it’s still important to take a step back and to realize your surroundings, which I find very insightful.
