So, how exactly did golf come into her life?
Although she was introduced to golf earlier than modeling, she had a torrid time learning and dealing with Golf. The fact that she was good at every sport other than golf makes the situation more perplexing. She honestly admits that her initial phase with golf wasn’t a bright omen.
It was solely for the sake of her crush. This is the fact no matter how unbelievable it may sounds. She was driven by her teenage stubbornness and giddiness to impress her older brother’s friends who played golf. She wouldn’t take any excuses. She eventually dealt with her issues and came out with flying colors in golf. Her trip around the nation with few other compatriots competing in the game made her fall in love with it. By 1999, she would go on to win South Australian and Victoria Junior Championship to secure her passage into Australian National Squad as an amateur
She had to wait until 2004 to mark her first professional appearance. She went on to be a season 2006 LET rookie and was invited to join LPGA Tour.
She was even included in Sports Illustrated (SI)’s list of 50 most fashionable athletes with reputed writer, Heather Zeller being quoted,
“An Australian native, Rawson has blurred the lines between fashion and sports for more than a decade. Noted not only for her style on the golf course but for her career as a runway model, she’s been able to capitalize on her interests, which vary from the LPGA to Channel Haute Couture.”
