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.\"
