Anna Rawson bio
In 1999, the coach-less Rawson was the leading qualifier of the Australian Amateur. In early 2000, she competed in the Australian Open, where the University of Southern California recruited her for a golf scholarship.
Rawson turned professional at the end of 2004, and she finished third at the 2005 Ladies European Tour qualifying tournament. In 2008 she qualified for a full time LPGA tour card.
In two full seasons on the LPGA Tour, her best finish has been a T10 at the 2008 Bell Micro LPGA Classic. This past summer in Calgary an opening round 64 gave her the first-round lead at the CN Canadian Women’s Open. She finished T15.
