On August 17, 2026 (Korean time), at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club (par 72) in Portland, Oregon, she recorded a 3-under 69 in the fourth round of the LPGA Tour Standard Portland Classic (total prize money of 2 million dollars), carding four birdies and one bogey. Anna Lin finished at a total of 16-under 272, tying for fifth place with Celine Boutier of France. This is her best result since tying for seventh at the BMW Ladies Championship in October last year.

However, her chase for the lead faltered with a bogey at the par-4 11th hole, and she managed to add only one more birdie at the par-4 14th hole. She missed just two greens, but her number of putts rose to 31. Ultimately, she was satisfied with achieving her only top-10 finish of the year, which is also her best performance this season.
World No. 2 Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand shot an impressive 8-under 64 to claim a come-from-behind victory at 22-under 266. It marked her third win of the season and 10th career victory since the Mizuho Americas Open in May. The winner's share was 300,000 dollars (about 420 million won).
