She has finished in the top 10 in every International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) event she’s played in this season and closed out the fall season with a second-place finish in the IJGA Invitational at Sea Pines. During the IJGA Invitational, Puangcharoen shot par 72 in round one on the Ocean Course. The 18-year-old, who lists Rory McIlroy as her favorite golfer, will continue her golf career next fall as a member of Northern Michigan University’s inaugural varsity squad.
