Kansas University senior women’s golfer Yupaporn Kawinpakorn was named to the All-Big 12 team, the conference office announced Wednesday.
The team is made of the top-10 Big 12 golfers based on GolfStat rankings. Kawinpakorn ranks 20th nationally, second in the Big 12 and two spots behind 18th-ranked Gabby Barker of Texas Tech.
This marks Kawinpakorn’s second career All-Big 12 honor, having previously been named to the 2013-14 All-Big 12 Team. Kawinpakorn’s selection is the fifth time in Kansas in history that a Jayhawk has been selected to the All-Big 12 Team. Amanda Costner was named in back-to-back years (2006 and 2007), while Emily Powers (2007-10) was selected in 2008.
Kawinpakorn and teammate Pornvipa Sakdee will compete as individuals at the NCAA Regional, today through Saturday in Shoal Creek, Ala.
