Does the outfit of a golfer play a significant role in getting noticed even more? Definitely, it does. These USGA and LPGA stars mostly wear hats and outfits sponsored by renowned brands. There are some who also prefer hats by brands Adidas and Callaway, and there are others who have the USA written on their hats. 

Talking about golfing hats and forgetting the LPGA star Angel Yin would be a crime since she has always been creative with her choices of hats. But this time at Pebble Beach, something insanely unconventional about her caught the eyes of people.

What unusual thing about Angel Yin intrigued the public?

Ranking 7th on the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open leaderboard so far, Yin has been doing exceptionally great on the field. She has secured an even-par score as of now. Despite everything seeming fine, something about her outfit seemed too off.

This young 24-year-old player was spotted on the ground by a spectator who took a picture of her and posted it on Twitter with the caption, “What in the literal hell is HACI”. 

The story didn’t just end there. Somehow, this photograph came to Yin’s notice and she made an abstract yet funny comment with an angry emoticon, “ Wow could have gotten a better screenshot of my face ”. 

How was the public’s reaction to Yin’s unusual hat?

This post has reached up to 7k views as of now. People didn’t seem to have been bothered or take offense to what Yin commented. Rather they took the matter lightly and started guessing the reason behind her odd attire.

Many came up with the assumption that it denotes the ‘Hacienda Golf Club’. Even previously in a few tournaments, Yin was seen wearing hats like this one with, ‘HACI’ written on them. One such tournament was the HSBC Women’s World Championship at Sentosa Club in 2022. But since Yin didn’t address the subject directly or provide a reason behind it, nothing could be finally known.

Thus, the affair is still contradictory, and a clear hypothesis could not be drawn. Yin neither denied nor accepted any of these postulated theories. But unless she is vocal about her intention behind wearing that hat, it is incorrect to come up with anything solid. 

Why do you think Yin wore that hat? Let us know in the comments below.
