STILLWATER — Oklahoma State men's golf head coach Alan Bratton announced the signing of three future Cowboys, Junes Chirband, Emerson Majma and Asher Nelson on Friday.
Junes Chirband- Weinheim, Germany
Chirband currently ranks 56th in the European Golf Rankings and is the highest ranked player in the Swedish Golf Federation's 2009 age group.
"JJ is an exciting player to watch with a fantastic golf swing," Bratton said. "He's a good ball hitter and compliments that with good length and a very nice short game. He's young, he'll still be 17 when he arrives for school. He had a couple wins this season and continues to rise in the European rankings. He comes from a golfing family and is a great fit for Cowboy golf."
Chirband has recorded victories in the Swedish Grand Opening and the U.S. Kids European Championship. He also placed third in the Spanish International U18 Amateur Championship and tied for fourth at the Junior Dubai Desert Classic T-4.
Emerson Majma- Edmond, Oklahoma
Majma is currently ranked 50th in the Golf Channel's 2026-27 class rankings, 60th on the Junior Golf Scoreboard Rankings and has won two Oklahoma Junior Golf Tour events.
"Emerson has been one of the best players in the state for years," Bratton said. "He loves the game and is a very hard worker. He grew up at Oak Tree surrounded by good players. He's always at the course and has seen what it takes to be great. It's been fun watching him develop. It's awesome to have a player with his skill set just 40 minutes down the road. I'm excited to see the impact he can make on our program."
In 2025, Majma placed top five in three American Junior Golf Association events and in 2026, he has competed in the Western Junior Championship and the AJGA Lake Charles Junior Championship.
Asher Nelson- Scottsdale, Arizona
Nelson is currently ranked 36th on the Golf Channel's 2026-27 class rankings, 89th on the AJGA rankings and has led his high school team to three consecutive state championship victories. He also claimed state medalist honors at the 2026 AIA Division I State Championship.
"Asher is very athletic," Bratton said. "He played multiple sports before he ended up finding his way to golf. He works hard and just keeps getting better. He had a very good summer winning his first national event and he just capped off the fall with a state championship. Asher has all the tools we look for in a player so there's no limit to where he can take his game."
Nelson has seven AJGA starts with five top 25 finishes. He was the low amateur at the 2024 Arizona Open, tying for fourth place and placing ninth at the Arizona Open in 2026.
Nelson claimed first place at the 2026 Scottsdale Charros Invitational and another first place at the 2026 AJGA Junior at Colgate. At the Junior America's Cup, Nelson tied for second individually while helping his team to a victory.
Chirband, Majma and Nelson will join Cowboy Golf in the 2027-28 season.
"These three guys' personalities complement one another, and their work ethic will be a catalyst for our future success," Bratton said. "They all have wonderful foundations with great families. We are blessed to welcome their families to ours. Go Pokes!"
