Team USA prepares for Solheim Cup as Angel Yin clears fitness check

Summary

Team USA captain Angela Stanford confirmed Angel Yin will compete at the Solheim Cup this week at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. Yin, who qualified second in points, missed recent majors while recovering from a stomach illness that caused significant weight loss. Despite limited tournament appearances since May, Stanford expects her to participate in match play. The United States aims to secure its first victory on European soil since 2015 and back-to-back tournament wins since 2017. Lilia Vu remains on-site with the squad as a potential option for the team as they finalize preparations for the upcoming event.
