“Competitive. Confident. Bulldog,” are the words San Diego State men’s golf head coach Ryan Donovan used to describe freshman Puwit Anupansuebsai.

Born and raised in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, the 18-year-old Anupansuebsai started his golf career early.

He said he has played golf for more than half of his life.

Anupansuebsai’s journey to success required many sacrifices. He departed from his entire family in Thailand around the age of 15.

Alone.

He ended up with a host family in Anaheim, where he attended Anaheim Discovery Christian High School and played golf.

“I wanted to come to college here in America,” he said.
