When college golf returns this spring, keep an eye on the Florida Gators.
Men’s golf coach J.C. Deacon announced on Monday that his already young and talented team was getting even better with the addition of All-American transfer Yuxin Lin.
Lin, who formerly played for USC, entered the transfer portal a week after competing in the Masters.
“Adding Yuxin Lin to our already very talented roster is huge for the Gators. The best part about it is how well he fits into our culture. He’s ready to work hard and wants to win with his teammates. As soon as we started speaking, I knew he was made to be a Gator,” said Deacon.

As a freshman at USC last season, Lin had four top-15 finishes in five starts, ending with a playoff loss at the Southern Highlands Collegiate in March. Lin is currently ranked No. 18 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, and is a two-time winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur.
