AGE 20

LIVES Thailand

STORY Won 2022 LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year. Has two LPGA Tour victories.

HISTORY MAKER I won the 2017 Ladies European Thailand Championship as a 14-year-old amateur. That made me the youngest person to win a professional golf tour event. I was in the field because of a sponsor’s exemption. Winning that tournament was a life-changing event for me. It opened up all the experiences I’ve had since.

DRIVER

SPECS Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, 9°, 45.5 inches, Fujikura Ventus Red 5S shaft.

This is my favorite club. I’ve used it since December. The launch numbers say it’s better than my previous driver. My spin rate is where I want it, and my clubhead and ball speed are up.

FAIRWAY WOODS/HYBRID

SPECS Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, 15°, Basileus FWSS 60S shaft; Callaway Apex UW, 22°, Basileus UT 70SR shaft.

I’ve been using this 3-wood since December, too. I hit it longer than my previous 3-wood, which has made a big difference. The hybrid has been in my bag since 2021. I’m very comfortable with it, so I’m reluctant to change.

IRONS

SPECS Callaway Apex Pro, 4-iron through pitching wedge, Shimada K 3001 shafts, Elite A50 grips.

When I hit the 4-iron through 7-iron, the sound is like “boom!” It’s almost too loud, but I’m used to it. The 4-iron is rare on the LPGA Tour, but I still hit it high enough to stop shots on the green.

WEDGES

SPECS Callaway Jaws Raw (48°, 52°, 58°), Shimada K HW 120 shafts.

The grind is different from my previous wedges because I use each of them in a bunker depending on the distance. Each one has my nickname “Jeeno” surrounded by stars stamped on them. Every Thai person has a nickname because our names are so long.

PUTTER

SPECS Odyssey Toulon Atlanta, 33.5 inches, 3°.

This putter went in the bag last year after a visit to the Callaway Performance Center in Carlsbad, Calif. It’s much larger in shape than my previous putter, but the style suits my eye, and I like the feel. I have a Texas-themed headcover that I got in Dallas. It’s cool.

WORK OF ART

I mark my Callaway Chrome Soft X by drawing a crown on it, which is the logo I designed for my agency back home. I also put “J” on each side of the number.

HAND SIGNAL

My grips are all different colors so that my dad watching on TV in Thailand knows which club I am hitting (the pink one is the 9-iron, for instance). I’ve done this since I was an amateur.

THE REAL JEEN

I have Jeeno on my wedges but Jeen on this ball marker. Even though people call me Jeeno, my real nickname is Jeen, which means “Chinese people” in Thai.
