Angel Yin - Turned down division 1 scholarships to turn pro at age 17

Angel Yin is an American professional golfer currently playing in her 5th season (2020) on the LPGA Tour. As a junior golfer, Angel won the 7–8 year old Junior World Golf Championships, won the California State Women’s Amateur as a 12 year old and again as a 14 year old, was the youngest player at the 2011 U.S. Women's Amateur, was co-medalist at a U.S. Women's Amateur, and was the youngest player in the field at the 2012 Women's U.S. Open  (also the second youngest in history).

In 2015, Angel competed in the Junior Solheim Cup. As a professional, Angel posted five top-5 finishes in 2017. Her game and personality caught the attention from Juli Inkster, U.S. Solheim Cup captain, who named Yin as a captain's pick for the 2017 Solheim Cup. Angel became the youngest player on either team. On December 9, 2017, she won the Omega Dubai Ladies Classic for her first professional victory.

Angel was born and raised in Southern California. She’s since moved to Florida but maintains that Arcadia is still “feels like home” to her. Her upcoming goals are to play for the United States in the upcoming Solheim Cup and to represent her country in the Olympics. In her spare time, Angel enjoys fishing, hiking, and long drives in her car (as well as on the golf course).
