Despite missing 10 of 23 cuts and withdrawing during another start, Zhang's pair of runner-up finishes were enough of a boost to place him inside the top-25 of the Web.com's regular season money list. Zhang ranked 33rd in GIR percentage and 51st in birdie average, though he didn't excel in one specific category throughout the season. He also posted an impressive T21 at the WGC-HSBC Champions event in late October, despite carding a final-round 76.
