Ash Barty coy on golf future after tennis retirement as she takes in Open Championship

Three-time Grand Slam winner Ash Barty shocked the tennis world when she announced her retirement from the sport at the age of just 25.

Barty's decision came shortly after she won the Australian Open, with the former world number one stating that she wanted to "chase other dreams". There has been speculation she could pursue a career in another sport, having previously played professional cricket for Queensland and Brisbane Heat during a break from tennis.

Barty is also a talented golfer, having competed in club golf tournaments and recently played at St Andrews ahead of the 150th Open Championship, where she played alongside former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, American actress Kathryn Newton and lead singer of British ban The Vamps Brad Simpson.
