I te 2016 Indian Open, i eke a Lines ki te 16 whakamutunga o te huihuinga rangatira mo te wa tuatahi ma te patu i a Graeme Dott 4<unk>1 me Andrew Higginson 4<unk>2, engari i ngaro 4<unk>2 ki a Shaun Murphy. Whai muri i tana wikitoria i a Martin O'Donnell i te Whakataetae o UK, i patu a Lines i te nama tuatoru o te ao a Judd Trump 6<unk>2 ana i kii koinei te wa tuatahi i pai tana mahi i roto i te tukinga pouaka whakaata. I tae ia ki te 16 whakamutunga mo te wa tuarua i tenei wa ma te tuku i a Jimmy Robertson 6<unk>0, engari kaore i taea te tiki i tetahi anga i a ia i te wa i wini ai a Marco Fu 6<unk>0. Whai muri i te hinganga o 4<unk>0 i te rauna tuatoru o te Scottish Open
I ngaro a Lines i te rima o ana tukinga e ono i te toenga o te wa.
