American Lauren Coughlin takes early lead at CPKC Women’s Open
CALGARY — American Lauren Coughlin credits her caddie, Terry McNamara, with helping keep her head in the game during the opening round of the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament.
Coughlin shot a 4-under, 68 on Thursday to sit atop the early leaderboard at the Canadian women’s golf championship.
“I think I was just super patient,” said Coughlin, who started her round with eight straight pars. “My caddie just said to me, ‘It’s playing tough, they’ll come,’ so I kind of just stuck in there.
“And, yeah, I started making a bunch of like 12-, 15-footers. That’s always good.”
