Lexi Thompson announced her retirement on Tuesday, but that massive women’s golf news has now been overshadowed by one thing and one thing only: Charley Hull signing autographs at the U.S. Women’s Open with a cig dangling from her mouth. This is how you promote a gosh dang major.

The World No. 8, six-time LPGA Tour winner and Northamptonshire native is a Brit through and through, even as she’s handing out an autograph for what looks to be a Pennsylvanian tween. Perhaps that’s not the best example to set for impressionable young fans, but she’s just following in the footsteps of John Daly, Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan. That’s mighty fine company to be in.
