Southern Miss added two golfers to its 2027 signing class: Mississippi standout Joshua “Belt” Owens and Bangkok native Chaipattana “CJ” Jensaiklang. Both bring strong junior results, giving coach Eddie Brescher a pair of promising additions for the fall.

By the Numbers
  • Owens is ranked No. 14 in Mississippi by Junior Golf Hub.
  • Jensaiklang is ranked No. 166 overall and No. 89 in the Class of 2027.
  • Jensaiklang recorded two runner-up finishes in summer 2026.
Yes, But

The rankings and junior finishes point to potential, but both players are still developing; their impact at the college level remains to be seen.

What's Next

Owens and Jensaiklang are expected to join the Golden Eagles this fall. Southern Miss is scheduled to return to competition Feb. 7-9 at the Campadres Collegiate.

Bottom Line

Southern Miss is adding two players with complementary strengths and noteworthy junior records as it builds for the 2027 season.
