SHANGHAI: Chinese teenager Lin Yuxin will return to the Masters and The Open next year after winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in a play-off on Sunday in Shanghai.Advertisement
He and Japan's defending champion Takumi Kanaya went to a nervy second extra hole after both finished on 10-under-par 278 at Sheshan International Golf Club. Lin, who missed the cut at the 2018 Masters at Augusta and also at The Open, said:"It definitely means a lot to me, especially this week.Lin and Kanaya, ranked the top amateur in the world, entered the first-ever playoff in the championship's history, only for both to birdie the first extra hole, at the 18th.That made them return to the par-five 18th for the second extra hole, where Lin -- with his father on the bag -- birdied once more, this time for victory.
"I was having a little trouble with the 18th three days in a row," said Lin, a freshman at the University of Southern California. "We knew there were extra holes coming up and stepping on the 18th again wasn?t a great feeling for me."
