Lin tied for first at the Pac-12 Preview in Hawaii to close out the fall schedule. She finished the fall season with a team-low 71.0 average and shot under par on both par-3s and par-5s over 11 fall rounds.

Using Golfstat's NCAA rankings as a base, the Arnold Palmer Cup ranking awards bonus points for wins and high finishes and a penalty for poor finishes. The ranking also contains a strength of schedule component.
The remaining six men's and women's spots for the United States will consist of five committee selections, including at least one non-Division I golfer, and a coaches pick. The balance of the International team will include the men's and women's winners of The R&A Scholars Tournament, four committee selections, and a coaches pick.
The next Arnold Palmer Cup Ranking will be announced February 28.
