Angel Yin Is Going to the Solheim Cup - The LPGA Edge | Lyssna här

One week before the Solheim Cup, Angel Yin sits down for her first podcast interview since

the illness that knocked her out of the KPMG — and tells the whole story: the

Thursday-night ER visit between rounds ("I told him, I have to leave — it's a

major"), the weeks that blurred together, and the agreement with captain Angela

Stanford that made Boston her test run. She breaks down why an 81-76 doesn't say

what you think it says, the 5-3-1 Solheim record she credits to her partners, and

why she refuses to look at Bernardus before she lands. Scottie brings the caddie's

answer to the form question — believe — and Kent tries to get a pairing out of her

(she's "secretive"). Plus: the diet ("I'm going to abolish 'restrictive'"), two

rotisserie chickens a week, a PS5 from Costco, the story behind the HACI hat, and

a Caddy Corner where Scottie rats out what she really shot at Norton. It ends the

only way it could: "This is your spot. You've earned this."
