TJ Pannawit Wangjaisuk has claimed the Royal Hua Hin championship once again, making history by winning titles in two different age classes, F and E.
"TJ," boy Pannawit Wangjaisuk, nicknamed "The Wolf Juniors," a rising Thai junior golf star, delivered another outstanding performance by winning the Singha-Krungthai Junior Golf Ranking 2026-2027 in the Class E Boy category at Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, on 20-21 June 2026. He also made personal history by winning championships in both Class F and Class E at Royal Hua Hin.
In the final round, TJ excelled with a front nine score of 34 and a back nine of 38, finishing the day with an Even Par 72—the best score in the Class E Boy category that day. He recorded 4 birdies on holes 4, 5, 7, and 16, ending the tournament with a total score of 151 (+7), from rounds of 79 and 72, securing the championship by an 8-stroke margin.
This achievement means more than just a trophy, as Royal Hua Hin is a significant course in TJ's golfing journey. Back in December 2024, he won the Singha-Krungthai Junior Golf Ranking 2024-2025 Class F title at this same course before advancing to the more competitive and challenging Class E.
Over time, TJ has learned to adapt to the new class. Initially facing difficulties and underperforming after moving up to Class E, he steadily improved through dedicated practice, continuous skill development, and strengthening his mental game, ultimately elevating his performance to reach the top once again.
Winning again at Royal Hua Hin as the Class E champion is an important milestone for this 8-year-old junior golfer, making TJ the owner of championship titles in two different classes (F and E) at this memorable venue.
This success builds on TJ's excellent results in the first half of 2026, having recently won the overall points title in the Thailand Junior World Tour Season 2 for Class E-Boy with 385 points. He made history by securing consecutive overall points championships in the Thailand Junior World Tour, moving from Class F in 2025 to Class E in 2026.
Additionally, TJ earned the right to represent Thailand at the international junior golf competition, the Golf Digest Japan Junior Cup 2026, held in Japan from 3-7 August 2026, after a tense playoff in the final round of the Thailand Junior World Tour.
This victory marks another significant achievement during the peak of TJ's form, reflecting continuous success at national and international levels. It highlights clear development in his technical skills, game management, and mental toughness over the past two years.
After the competition, TJ Pannawit Wangjaisuk said, "I'm very happy to win again at Royal Hua Hin. This course means a lot to me because I previously won the Class F title here. Today, I focused on every shot and played according to my practice plan. I'm glad I succeeded."
His father, Toon – Piyapong Wangjaisuk, said, "What I'm most proud of is not just the results but seeing TJ's growth over time. From adjusting to a new class, learning from mistakes, to striving to improve every day, he has earned this championship here again as a true reward for his hard work."
Coach Pro Nam – Thichalada Nithithirasakul commented, "TJ has shown continuous improvement in technique, game planning, and emotional control on the course. What stands out is his dedication to practice and willingness to learn, which are crucial foundations for any athlete aiming to achieve great things in the future."
Looking ahead, TJ will continue training intensively to prepare for the Golf Digest Japan Junior Cup 2026 in Japan as Thailand’s representative, hoping to gain international experience and further develop towards higher future goals.
