Former tennis world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty won just £17 in a recent golf tournament just weeks on from her dramatic retirement from tennis.
Barty shocked the sporting world last month after retiring from the sport whilst occupying the world No. 1 spot at just 25-years-old. In a statement, Barty confirmed that she was moving away from tennis to 'chase other dreams’, with many speculating these ‘dreams’ could well be becoming a professional golfer.
Just under two weeks later, it seems the 25-year-old is already making moves in the world of golf after already picking up a victory. Her prize for the win? A modest £17 ($30 AUD) after she claimed victory at a ladies competition at the Brookwater Golf and Country Club in the outskirts of Brisbane.
