Thai Juniors Win Two Titles at World Golf Championship
Thai junior golfers claimed two titles at the USWING MOJING Junior World Golf Championship in San Diego, with Phannarin Srichaphan winning the Girls 7–8 division and Yubo Shen capturing the Boys 11–12 title on July 9.
SAN DIEGO, California — Thailand's junior golfers continued their impressive international performance after Phannarin "Cherlyn" Srichaphan, daughter of former tennis star Paradorn Srichaphan, and Yubo Shen captured titles in their respective divisions at the USWING MOJING Junior World Golf Championship in San Diego, California, on July 9, 2026.
Cherlyn won the Girls 7–8 division with a total score of 4-over-par 178, while Shen claimed the Boys 11–12 title after firing a final-round 4-under-par to finish at 9-under-par 207. He finished two strokes ahead of runner-up Sky Wilding.
The victories extended Thailand's strong showing in the United States after the team earlier won six titles at the FCG International Championship 2026 at Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook, California. Both Cherlyn and Shen were among the Thai champions at that event before adding Junior World titles to their achievements.
First held in 1968, the USWING MOJING Junior World Golf Championship is regarded as one of the world's premier junior golf tournaments. The annual event attracts more than 1,250 young golfers from 56 countries and 42 U.S. states and has served as a launching pad for numerous future professional golfers.
