Southern Miss adds two golfers to 2027 signing class

Southern Miss has added Joshua “Belt” Owens and Chaipattana “CJ” Jensaiklang to its men’s golf program as members of the 2027 signing class, coach Eddie Brescher announced Wednesday.

Owens, who attends Madison Ridgeland Academy in Madison, Mississippi, is ranked No. 14 in the state by Junior Golf Hub. His 2025-26 results included a win at the Randy Watkins Junior, a tie for ninth at the Gulf States Boys Junior PGA Championship and eighth place at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Tommy Moore Memorial.

Jensaiklang attends Assumption College Thonburi in Bangkok, Thailand. Junior Golf Hub ranks him No. 166 overall and No. 89 among players in the Class of 2027. During the summer of 2026, he finished second at the FCG Callaway Collegiate Championship and FCG International Collegiate Championship. He also tied for seventh at the FCG Callaway World Championship and tied for 20th at the 19th FCG International Championship.

Brescher praised Owens’ course management and golf knowledge, and described Jensaiklang as a powerful player with a strong short game. He said the pair could reach high levels with the program.

Southern Miss is scheduled to return to competition Feb. 7-9 at the Campadres Collegiate.
