Asian Tour: China’s Lin Yuxin tops Q-School, Hong Kong’s Jason Hak also through
Two-time Asia-Pacific Amateur champion finishes on 16 under par in Thailand to lead group of 35 who have secured status for 2026 season
China’s Lin Yuxin has already had an impressive amateur career, but now he will get the chance to test his game against the region’s golfing elite after winning the Asian Tour Qualifying School event in Thailand.
The two-time Asia-Pacific Amateur champion carded a four-under-par 67 in the final round to finish on 16 under, topping the group of 35 players who secured status for the 2026 season.
Among them was Hong Kong’s Jason Hak Shun-yat, whose six-under total left him in 21st after five days of competition at the Lake View Resort and Golf Club in Hua Hin.
Lin, who turned professional in 2023 and spent this year playing in Canada after previously competing on the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Americas, birdied the last hole on Sunday to finish a shot clear of India’s Shaurya Bhattacharya.
“It’s definitely a great feeling to get through Q-School,” Lin said. “It’s one of the toughest tournaments in golf for any professional, so I’m just fortunate enough to get in this week.
“I’ve been hitting it good all season, just been having trouble with the putter, mainly throughout the summer. I did some work on it during October and November, so the game has been feeling good for a while.”
