Angel Yin's Solheim Cup Fitness in Question After FM Rounds

Angel Yin's bid to prove she is fit for the Solheim Cup ended without a birdie. The 27-year-old missed the cut at the FM Championship this week, her first tournament since withdrawing from the third round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June with stomach and gastrointestinal problems that she has said cost her 35 pounds.

How did Angel Yin play in her return?

Yin opened with a 9-over 81 on Thursday at TPC Boston, hitting six of 14 fairways and six of 18 greens with nine bogeys and no birdies. She improved to a 4-over 76 on Friday, hitting eight of 14 fairways and seven of 18 greens, but finished last among players who completed 36 holes.

Where does Yin's Solheim Cup case stand?

Yin qualified for the U.S. team on points and has a 5-3-1 career Solheim Cup record, including selections as a captain's pick in 2017 and 2023 and automatic qualification in 2019. Despite missing nearly two months of competition, she still sits second on the American points list behind world No. 1 Nelly Korda. U.S. captain Angela Stanford completed her roster Monday by naming Rose Zhang, Megan Khang and Lindy Duncan as her final three picks, leaving Yin's status as the only outstanding question on the team.

A trial run without a birdie left the question of Yin's fitness exactly where it started.

Yin has told reporters the decision on whether she travels to the Netherlands is ultimately hers to make. "The last thing I want to do is drag the team down," she said. Stanford has said the team is evaluating Yin's status day by day and that she earned her spot on merit. The Solheim Cup opens in the Netherlands in two weeks, and Yin's FM Championship week was her last competitive event before a decision is expected.
