Amateur athletes are not normally considered notable. Failing WP:NGOLF and also WP:GNG. A few mentions in game summary articles, but not sufficient for notability. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 07:06, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In the golf notability criteria, the fourth qualification is: "They have won at least one recognized amateur golf tournament at the national or international level". Lin won the 2017 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship which is organised in conjunction with the Masters Tournament and The R&A, who are the organisers of The Open Championship. Starting in 2018, the winner receives an invitation to both the Masters and The Open Championship. Lin is therefore the first player to gain that invitation which enhances the prestige and status of the Asia-Pacific to the same "elite" level as the U.S. Amateur, British Amateur and European Amateur championships. I would agree that Asia-Pacific winners before 2017 might not share Lin's distinction unless they have satisfied other notability criteria. As for the GNG, Lin's achievements in winning an elite competition and taking part in the two majors indicate that wider coverage exists and further verification can be found. Thanks.
