Seven titles at Royal Hua Hin — with an important distinction
Thailand's young golfers collected seven individual honours, including a separate overall award for Classes C–D, at the 2026 Singha Thailand Junior World Golf Championships. The tournament ended on 1 November 2026 at Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan province. Organized by the Thailand Golf Association (TGA), it brought together 144 junior golfers from 14 countries and territories over 29 October–1 November.
The distinction matters: six age-and-gender division victories plus one combined C–D overall gross title make up the reported seven. They are not seven wins in seven distinct age divisions. Classes A and B played four rounds; the younger C and D classes played three. All the individual totals below are strokes, not match-play points.
Results across the divisions
In Class B (ages 13–14), Thailand's Patchirawat Rajsanmuang (พชิระวัสส์ ราชแสนเมือง), known as TT, won the boys' division with 290 strokes (+2) over four rounds. The girls' champion was Sroysamchan Chantarathit (สร้อยสามจันทร์ จันทราทิตย์), nicknamed Namnueng, with 288 strokes (even par). The Philippines' Daily Tribune independently confirms Rajsanmuang's 290 total and reports that Filipino contender Vito Sarines finished third on 296.
In Class C (ages 11–12), Tham Sorachart (ธามม์ สรชาติ) won the boys' competition after a playoff: he and compatriot Thawin Sa-ueng had each finished regulation at 217 (+1) over 54 holes. Nichapha Chobhimwet (ณิชาภา จบหิมเวศน์), known as Nava, took the girls' title. In Class D (ages 9–10), the champions were Siraphat Singchu (สิรภัทร สิงห์ชู), known as Ken, with 235 (+19), and Nalinthicha Natthoradon (ณลินฐิชา นาทธราดล) with 222 (+6).
The separate combined Class C–D overall gross award went to Boonrat Kanta (บุญรัตน์ กันทา), known as Lily, on 213 strokes (−3) across three rounds. It is important not to confuse that special overall classification with an additional age division.
Two second-place team finishes
Thailand's success in the individual categories did not translate into a sweep of the team competitions. In the boys' team event, Thailand finished second on 592 strokes (+16) behind Vietnam on 589 (+13). The girls' team also placed second, with 576 strokes (even par), behind South Korea's winning 561 (−15). These are aggregate stroke totals for the team competitions, not match-play points.
Other nations won the oldest divisions. Ryan Guo of the United States captured the boys' Class A title, one stroke ahead of Thailand's Surapich Pichasaowapak, who posted 286 (−2). South Korea's Junyu An won girls' Class A with 275 strokes. The oldest brackets therefore underline the international depth of the field rather than an exclusively Thai sweep.
A measure of Thailand's junior golf pipeline
This was a junior amateur championship, not a professional PGA or LPGA tournament. Its four age groups were A, 15–17; B, 13–14; C, 11–12; and D, 9–10, in separate boys' and girls' competitions. The Thai association and local reports identify the tournament as recognized within the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) framework, although that does not mean every individual age-group result necessarily earns ranking points.
With players representing 14 countries and territories, the event offered a useful comparison of junior development pathways. The accurate headline is six division wins, one additional C–D overall award, and two team runner-up finishes for Thailand. These young players' later progression will determine how their junior performances translate to higher-level amateur and, eventually, professional golf.
