The Honda LPGA Thailand tournament is sizzling with excitement as American golf sensation, Angel Yin, takes the helm. Yin has been on a roll, securing a leading position after the third round with her second consecutive eight-under 64. The 26-year-old Californian golf star managed to card eight birdies without missing a single shot, finishing 21 under and a notable five strokes ahead of the second-round leader, Akie Iwai. Yin humbly attributed her stellar performance to “good lies” and a “great mindset.” Meanwhile, local favorites Jeeno Thitikul and Moriya Jutanugarn are not far behind, tied for third at 15 under par.
Yin’s commanding lead has everyone intrigued, but what’s even more exciting is the burning question: What’s in her golf bag? What equipment is propelling Yin’s meteoric rise in the ranks?
A look into Yin’s golf bag reveals a fascinating mix of golf clubs. Since her professional debut in 2016, the American golfer has garnered two pro wins using her distinct set of clubs. Her driving power comes from the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, priced at around £449.00. Yet, Yin has also been seen wielding the Ping G430 LST driver, leaving golf enthusiasts guessing which driver she’ll continue to favor.
Yin’s golf bag also holds the Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero Fairway Wood (13.5°) valued at £269.00 and the Callaway Apex 19 Hybrid, ranging between £99.99 and £231.99 for pre-owned models. What makes Yin’s collection of clubs even more impressive is the fact that she doesn’t have a contract with any club manufacturer. Yet, she has managed to assemble a robust set of clubs enabling her to compete at the highest level.
Yin’s impressive performance isn’t just down to her driving skills. A peek further into her golf bag uncovers her chosen irons, wedges, and putter. Yin boasts a robust iron game, relying on a full set of Callaway Apex TCB Irons worth around £1,100.00. These irons are crafted for exceptional ball strikers and her set includes a 4 or 5-iron through to a pitching wedge. Yin complements these irons with KBS C-Taper or C-Taper Lite shafts, providing the smooth finish necessary for her game’s progression.
Turning to her wedges, Yin opts for PXG 0311 Forged Wedges, retailing at £149.99. These wedges are a 2017 model, but it’s unlikely that Yin is using the same ones as professionals frequently update their wedges. Yin has also been seen with a prototype wedge, the details of which remain a mystery, further piquing the curiosity of the golfing world.
Yin’s putting game is strengthened by the Burke AI-77 Putter, a rare choice among professional golfers. Unfortunately, this putter isn’t available for public purchase yet. Rounding off her golf bag is the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball, priced at £42.95. With her formidable iron game, dependable wedges, and reliable putter, Yin has become a powerful contender on the course.
Angel Yin’s performance with her unique mix of equipment demonstrates that one doesn’t need the latest and most expensive clubs to succeed. It’s no surprise that she’s been making significant waves in the golf world. With her impressive track record and a golf bag full of trusted equipment, we are eagerly looking forward to her future endeavors on the green.
