Clairey Lin, a 16-year-old golfer from Canada, wins the 2026 U.S. Girls’ Junior at Old Chatham in North Carolina, according to multiple reports. Yahoo Sports describes her as dominating the week at the course, securing the championship after a strong run of results. The final match is reported as a victory over Amelie Zalsman of St. Petersburg, Florida, with Lin winning 5 and 4. The Winnipeg Free Press also identifies Lin as the Canadian player who claims the title, aligning with the coverage that she is the winner of the U.S. Girls’ Junior event. While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—one highlighting overall dominance and the other focusing on the championship outcome—both agree on the key details: Lin represents Canada, she is 16 years old, she wins the 2026 U.S. Girls’ Junior, and she defeats Zalsman in the final.
