At the age of 14 I fell in love with the game of golf after watching a television show that featured Australia's Golden Girl, Jan Stephenson. I hit my first golf ball in the small central Queensland town of Biloela, and the game has taken me to New Zealand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Austria,Sweden, Denmark, and Brussels, eventually bringing me to the U.S and the LPGA in 1997.

I have been fortunate to win twice on the Ladies European Tour, and 8 times on the US LPGA. My highest finish on the USLPGA has been 7th on the Money List in 2003. My swing coach, David Whelan, is based at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

My second love is surfing. One of my first dates with my husband, Greg Ritchie, was to the beach, where he taught me how to ride my board. As a surfer, I am an 18 handicap, but, I am practicing to improve to single digits!! I have always loved the ocean, and am fortunate that Australia offers some of the best surfing beaches in the world. Stay posted for some photos of my surfboard!
