[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is a new challenge for Anna Lin (25).

On the 13th (Korean time), immediately after finishing first in the LPGA Tour Qualifying (Q) Series at Highland Oaks Golf Club (par 72) in Dothan, Alabama, USA, she said with a bright smile, "I didn't expect to be the top qualifier, so I am very happy," and "I will have my rookie season next year and will work hard." Starting the final day 5 strokes behind in second place, she shot 6 under par to create an exhilarating comeback show.

She is the second Korean player to top the qualifiers after Lee Jeong-eun 6 (25, Daebang Construction) in 2018. Especially, this valuable achievement came after a grueling 8 rounds and 144 holes over two weeks. Anna Lin, who said, "I am physically exhausted but satisfied with the good result," explained, "I have to self-quarantine for ten days when I return home," and added, "I will take sufficient rest during those ten days." She secured eligibility to participate in all LPGA Tour events next year by finishing within the top 20.

"I am most looking forward to traveling to many countries around the world," she said, expressing her thoughts, "I am happy to be able to compete with players I have only seen on TV until now." Anna Lin said, "2022 will be a year when everything changes anew for me," and added, "I also expect it to be a season where I can take a step forward," showing strong confidence by saying, "I will make the name 'Anna Lin' known on the new tour."

Anna Lin started playing golf in the second year of middle school and debuted on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour in 2017. Last October, she succeeded on her 93rd attempt at the Otek Carrier Championship. In the same year, she won the Hana Financial Group Championship in November, earning her second career victory.
