ASHEVILLE, N.C. \u2013 UNC Asheville women’s golf head coach Ross Cash<\/a> has announced the signing of Praelyn Jirasaraikul to the 2026 recruiting class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Praelyn is an exceptional talent,” said Cash. “She has averaged 72.7 over the past year, including competing in multiple Thai LPGA events as an amateur. We’re really excited to have her as a Bulldog. Her size and strength translate to tremendous length, which is a huge part of the game today. She’s going to make an immediate impact here, and I couldn’t be more excited.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jirasaraikul is from Bangkok, Thailand, and ranks in the top-67 of amateur golfers in the Thai LPGA. Her most recent win was at the TJGGA \u2013 Optimist Junior Golf Qualifying, where she won following a playoff hole.\u00a0<\/p>\n
