Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Angel Yin. Angel, incredible week for you. What do you walk away with following this final round?

ANGEL YIN: Well, everybody will be talking about the $1 million I'm walking away with. I think a lot of confidence in my game and the right direction.

Q. To be able to card a bogey-free round like in this final round, did you feel any pressure in the morning? Were you just taking it one shot at a time?

ANGEL YIN: One shot at a time. First time playing the morning since my Thursday round and it's quite different. Greens were a lot slower. In the replay or whatever, if anyone is watching, you can see that I left every single putt like an each short of the hole dead in the cup.

And so I really had to address to that and then try and score from there, because I knew my opponents were going to go low.

Q. What were some of the biggest takeaways from the entirety of this week?

ANGEL YIN: Just that I got my friends here, my support. Got a lot of great people in my life, and I think that's the biggest takeaway.

Q. You talked about knowing at the beginning of the season, had to go through a lot, especially after that injury that you had. How do you kind of reflect on how you've been able to grind it out, especially here at the season-ending event?

ANGEL YIN: Yeah, to play with no pain right now is honestly really -- it's more of a miracle to be honest. My mom always thought like there is a certain type of period where you heal and then it's not how it works, especially something with the foot.

So I've experienced that with the human body. To play the season ender -- first all, to be able to participate because I barely got in, and then now to be able to finish second, obviously had a chance to win, is good.

Q. Just taking away, what have you learned about yourself this year heading into 2025?

ANGEL YIN: That I'm pretty awesome. That cannot walk and finish second. So I've learned that I just need to believe my myself and that's what I did.

That's why I had my friend on the bag. And then that's it. Just need to keep doing that, believe in myself.
