“I bought a bento box. I got a very solid eel bento box, and then I got fro-yo,” Zhang said in a video. “Oh wait, I made a huge purchase, guys — my Rolex watch.”
After a minute of thinking about it, she remembered the watch. At first, it was funny because it appeared she celebrated with a bento box and some frozen yogurt. There is nothing wrong with that, but it was unique.
Zhang said she upgraded her bento box to include eel, which was a little splurge. Then after thinking it was funny that is how she celebrated, Zhang suddenly remembered the watch.
“A little customized one — it’ll have the date of the Mizuho win,” Zhang said. “A little extra something.”
How does one forget about a Rolex watch? Rolex watches start at $6,500 and can range up to $75,000. The average range is $7,000 – $12,000 per Wrist Advisor. She didn’t specify what kind of Rolex she got but did say it was custom.
Zhang is having quite the year. She won back-to-back individual NCAA Championship titles. Then in her first LPGA start, she won. Last week at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Zhang continued her run by finishing T8.
The start to her career has people thinking of one Mr. Tiger Woods.
