Putting is one aspect of her game that she is looking to improve. She stated that if she lowers her putting average then it will be one of her biggest accomplishments.
Like every other teenager, the golfer is a fan of the American singer, Taylor Swift. She confessed that she likes to sing along whenever it comes across her mind.
She identified her noticeable traits and said that her memory is highly sharp, such that she can grasp words quickly.
Lin went on and said that she has a special bond with sports. She definitely seems to share a strong connection with sports.
Commenting on her physical activities during her earlier years, she expressed that there were all sorts of sports she used to play and was good at them.
This year, the Chinese recorded one spectacular hole-in-one. A hole-in-one is a major feat but it is not the only reason why the Chinese has grabbed all the attention, it is due to her consistency.
The talented young golfer has vast potential. What has 2013 got in the store for her is yet to be seen.
