The 17-year-old posted a two-under 69 to edge ahead of Andy Zhang and midway leader Min Woo Lee, where the winner receives an invite to the Masters and The Open in 2018.
First-round pacesetter Shae Wools-Cobb lies a further two strokes back in fourth spot at Royal Wellington Golf Club, with Kerry Mountcastle and Yechun Yuan tied for fifth on four under.
Lin played alongside Wools-Cobb on Saturday
Lin moved ahead by following an opening-hole birdie with back-to-back gains at the fifth, only to triple-bogey the par-four sixth and drop a shot at the ninth to reach the turn in 37.
The Chinese star bounced back to make successive birdies from the 13th, before grabbing the clubhouse advantage by picking up a shot at the par-five last.
Min Woo Lee lies a stroke off the pace
Zhang surged up the leaderboard with six birdies in an eight-hole stretch around the turn, with Lee birdieing the last to join him on seven under.
Wools-Cobb holed a 30-foot eagle from the fringe at the last to close a level-par 71 and get to five under, with only 14 players under par for the tournament.
