"It's been an adventure. If it wasn't a
dramatic entrance, it wouldn't be my life, so it's okay. It's
all good," Kang told reporters on Tuesday at Finca Cortesin in
Andalucia.
"You just kind of roll with the punches. It's life, it's golf,
you know, it's okay."
Kang also said equipment manufacturer Ping provided her with a
temporary set on Tuesday that she was able to play with while
Titleist, one of her sponsors, was making a second set that will
be flown in overnight.
Despite not having her golf bag, Kang said she does have her
putter since she travels with it separately, in a rifle case, to
prevent it from being damaged.
"I put it in a separate case to travel with because I don't have
the means to get my putter checked every week and, yes, the
clubs do get bent on the plane and, yes, they matter, to all the
people wondering," said Kang.
"So thankfully the putter didn't get lost. But it's okay. The
other 13 are coming. It's coming. We have faith. Stacy is on it.
I mean, she's putting out fires, and I'm pretty sure I'm the
only one causing fire right now."
Europe are the reigning champions after edging the United States
15-13 at Inverness Club in Ohio in 2021 to retain the Solheim
Cup. The Americans lead the overall series 10-7.
