SANDWICH, England - The Gators trio of Billy Horschel, Sam Horsfield, and Yuxin Lin all concluded their weekend at The 149th Open Championship at Royal St. George's.

"I mean, it's just an unbelievable feeling to make the cut at a major championship," Lin told reporters on Saturday. "It's been a dream come true for me."

In his fourth major championship appearance - Masters (2018 & 2020) and The Open (2018) - Lin made the cut of a major for the first time in his career. He was one of two amateurs to enjoy the weekend as he turned in his lowest round of 69 (-1) in round one on Thursday. The junior posted nine birdies to lead all amateurs as he finished +6 overall.
