Quick Quotes


Q. Okay, here with Angel after her victory today in the T-Mobile Match Play, round two. Can you just talk through your round and your match. Looked pretty close out there. Battled back toward the end of the match.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, I mean, Pajaree, she's won here before so very experienced with Jesus on the bag, who she won with. I know his as a caddie because he's caddied for me before. Very experienced.

They were really making no mistakes. I made some mistakes in the front nine. Missed two really short putts, which -- well, not short because if it was really short she would give it to me, but they were decent enough size where I didn't believe I should miss and I haven't missed in a while.

So I was coming in with some mistakes and then I hit it in the water on 9. Then I was bleeding a little bit. And then I tried to keep it intact, and then towards the end she made a few mistakes. I think I got quite lucky at the end to be honest.

Q. That stretch you said you were bleeding a little bit, what are you reminding yourself or telling yourself during that time to fight back, or does being down bring anything out of you?

ANGEL YIN: Well, I think I'm not as angry as I used to be, but I was kind of blowing it up. I was 'bout to lose it when I was missing my putts.

But good thing is what I was telling myself is it was the front nine and I had a lot more holes to go. It wasn't like I was 4-down, just probably like 1-down.

So I told myself I had more holes and some advantages. This golf course is so hard to be honest and only getting harder because it's going to get firmer, so I was just trying to be patient.

That or pack my bag and go home.

Q. I was going to ask you about the things on the there, the origami, I believe it is from a fan.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah. I'm a fan. This little girl, she gave it to me and she's promoting herself, so she's hustlin' it. @playingwithT. It's a little dragon.

Q. I was also going to ask you about you've been collecting some cards.

ANGEL YIN: Yeah. I've been collecting -- well, started out with Pokemon cards because Jaquisha (phonetic) had the highest high of her life pulling a pack with a bunch of kids, and then we all started doing it as a group because that's what we usually do. If one likes something we kind of all jump in.

And then I started recently collecting sports cards. I did WNBA and I pulled like I think a demi god pack because I had so many Caitlin Clarks. I thought it was just like normal. I think I have a total of seven Caitlin Clarks now and I've only bought a couple boxes. It's absolutely insane. I got a Sue Bird.

And then actually, I don't remember her name, which is really unfortunate, but Kari (phonetic) actually, we pulled a card which Kari used to nanny for and watch the kids for, so that was really cool. She had a huge afro, older player, so that really cool.

I actually, because of Matt, I bought two boxes of NBAs. But I've been pulling good. I got Dennis Rodman, Charles Barkley, Kyree. I got a bunch. It's crazy. My pulls are insane right now.

Q. What are you going to do with the cards you have?

ANGEL YIN: I don't know. Look at them. I do want to get a few signed. Yeah, I don't know. It's fun. I don't know. I might grade them. Might not. It's kind of an expensive has been to be honest.

Q. Sounds like there should be An Angel Yin card.

ANGEL YIN: I bought LIV cards and they're really cool. Done by Panini. I think we should do LPGA cards. It's okay to not do Angel Yin cards, but cards are in, so I think I we could do really cool Panini cards, one and ones.
