"I'll head over and eat a chocolate muffin"- Rose Zhang details her plans after maiden Paris Olympics run comes to an end

Rose Zhang reflected on her plans after her debut appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The American golfer competed in the recently concluded event and finished tied for eighth place.

Following the final round, she was asked about her experience playing at the Olympics and whether she had visited the Olympic Village. Zhang revealed that she had not yet visited the village but planned to do so after the completion of the golf event. Additionally, she mentioned her plans to enjoy a muffin.

Speaking about her plans after the Olympics, Rose Zhang said (via ASAP Sports):

"I haven't. So either tomorrow -- probably tomorrow I'll head over and eat a chocolate muffin, who knows."

While speaking of her experience at the Olympics, Zhang said:

"Takes a lot of resilience to get the job done or to even be in contention. Really proud of how hard I fought, and I think there's just a lot more coming and pretty excited for what I can work on and what I can improve on."

It is important to note that the women's golf tournament at the Paris Olympics successfully concluded on Saturday, August 10, at Le Golf National. New Zealand's Lydia Ko won the gold medal, while Germany's Esther Henseleit secured the silver and China's Lin Xiyu bagged bronze.

Zhang was impressive in the third round, but she struggled in the final round, shooting a 74 and slipping four positions to finish in eighth place.

A look into Rose Zhang's performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics

Rose Zhang had a decent outing at the Paris Olympics in 2024. She started her game on the first tee hole with a double bogey, followed by a birdie on the fourth hole. She recorded two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine and added a bogey and a birdie on the back nine, finishing the first round with a score of 72.

Zhang improved her game in the second round, shooting three birdies with just one bogey to score 70. She was highly impressive in the third round, starting with three birdies on the front nine and adding two eagles and a double bogey on the back nine, finishing with a score of 67.

However, Rose Zhang struggled in the final round. She recorded three bogeys, a double bogey, and three birdies on Saturday, finishing with a score of 74 and tying for eighth place.

Speaking about her final round performance, Zhang said (via ASAP Sports):

"Just the front nine, nothing was going my way. I was probably an inch or two off just flipping out and also just not having the greatest lies from the rough. Obviously you can't expect too much out of the rough. But I was just that half-inch or a foot away from just being in good territory."

Meanwhile, Lydia Ko became the first female golfer to win three Olympic medals, winning silver in the Rio Olympics, bronze in Tokyo, and gold in Paris.
