COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M women’s golf announced Tuesday the signing of elite junior golfer Athena Singh to the 2026-27 roster.
“Athena brings a calmness to our team,” Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell said. “She just goes about her business quietly. She recently played at the U.S. Women’s Open, so her resume speaks for itself. Academically, she is a young lady that wants to do chemical engineering, so she brings the best of both worlds. She fits Texas A&M perfectly and is a massive addition for the future of our program.”
Singh is ranked No. 18 in the 2026 class on the AJGA Rankings. The Moorehead, Kentucky, native is fresh off competing at the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open where she finished tied for 124th and shot 10-over 152 at the prestigious major.
Singh qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open after finishing runner up at the Briar Ridge Country Club on May 11 when she shot a 3-over 147 and won a playoff for the final advancing spot. The incoming freshman also logged two other runner-up outings this summer at the Kentucky Girls’ Junior Amateur and Women’s Western Junior Championship.
Singh was named 2025 Kentucky Miss Golf by the Kentucky Golf Coaches Association and is a three-time champion of the Kentucky PGA Junior Amateur (2022, 2023, 2025). Singh earned runner-up honors at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship.
