Hearing-impaired Yost resumes LPGA quest

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Kaylin Yost is looking to take another step in her improbable march toward her LPGA dream.

Yost is playing the Kingsmill Championship on a sponsor exemption this week.

Yost, 25, caught the attention of tournament staff with her play at the Founders Cup in March, her first LPGA start. She made it into the field through a Monday qualifier.

Her story wowed fans there.

Yost was born with a pair of dislocated hips requiring two major surgeries. She spent the first 16 months of her life in a body cast. And then when she was 2, her parents learned she was also hearing impaired.
