Back in March 2018, there was much ado about a Thai girl who had turned 15 the previous month and was practicing at the far end of the range ahead of the HSBC Women’s World Championship at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore. Then, she was called Atthaya Thitikul. Nearly seven years on and the now 21-year-old Thitikul is known the golfing world over, and also officially, by her nickname, Jeeno.

Editor's Note: Please enjoy this encore of a story that originally appeared on GGPWomen on March 9, 2024. The Himalayas, as the St Andrews Ladies’ Putting Club is known the world over, was designed by Old Tom Morris, a four-time winner of the Open and “keeper of the green” in St Andrews from 1864 to 1904.

And that’s exactly what her now-15-year-old daughter has become as she signs autographs with a delightful little asterisk above the “i” for spectators at the Curtis Cup, which matched Great Britain and Ireland against the U.S. over the weekend here at Sunningdale Golf Club.

ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND | Lauren Coughlin, who will be representing the U.S. in next month’s Solheim Cup in her home state of Virginia, takes a quiet pride in being a little different from the rest of her teammates. Whereas she is 31 and playing in the match for the first time, the others, save for Ally Ewing, another 31-year-old but one who has three Solheim Cup appearances under her belt, are in their 20s. Coughlin very easily could have given up on golf toward the end of her schooling.
