U.S. Solheim Cup team member Rose Zhang went skydiving last week, an experience the 23-year-old described as a fitting preparation before international competition. The event, held during her only week off prior to the tournament, was coordinated through a partnership with Red Bull. Zhang is currently in the Netherlands for the 2026 Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf, which runs from September 11-13. This appearance marks her third in the biennial event, where she holds a 4-2-1 career record. During a Wednesday press conference, she joined teammate Lindy Duncan to discuss team dynamics and the challenge of adjusting to the Dutch course conditions. While Zhang and teammate Andrea Lee remain acclimated to their California roots, both athletes noted that they have struggled with the cold, rainy weather experienced during recent practice rounds.
