Angel Yin Is Going to the Solheim Cup

One week before the Solheim Cup, Angel Yin sits down for her first podcast interview sincethe illness that knocked her out of the KPMG — and tells the whole story: theThursday-night ER visit between rounds ("I told him, I have to leave — it's amajor"), the weeks that blurred together, and the agreement with captain AngelaStanford that made Boston her test run. She breaks down why an 81-76 doesn't saywhat you think it says, the 5-3-1 Solheim record she credits to her partners, andwhy she refuses to look at Bernardus before she lands. Scottie brings the caddie'sanswer 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'"), tworotisserie chickens a week, a PS5 from Costco, the story behind the HACI hat, anda Caddy Corner where Scottie rats out what she really shot at Norton. It ends theonly way it could: "This is your spot. You've earned this."Chapters0:00 Cold open0:31 Taco trucks first, golf second1:57 "You are going to the Solheim Cup"2:32 The ER visit between rounds at the KPMG5:34 "Very resolvable" — what recovery actually looked like10:08 One week of prep and a leap of faith12:58 The Friday call to her caddie14:35 "Everyone and their moms have an opinion"16:15 Three captains: Juli, Stacey, Angela17:39 "Golf is life" — never separated20:38 Not all 81s are created equal24:13 The caddie's answer to the form question27:40 Consistency — and the fortune-teller at the takeout counter29:27 Abolishing "restrictive": the two-rotisserie-chicken week33:37 The only thing that could stop her34:47 The SoCal gang goes to the Netherlands35:32 5-3-1: the partners behind the record36:51 Who's she playing with?
