Back in 2007, a 12-year-old girl called Alexis Thompson made history at the US Women's Open by becoming the youngest-ever qualifier at the time. Since then, Lucy Li took over the most-junior entrant mantel, aged 11 in 2014. 

But almost two decades on from Thompson's own record-breaking week, not only is she set for another crack at the event, but it will be Thompson's 18th championship in a row.
