Amateur career

Stevenson was born in 1978 and grew up in Gold Coast, Queensland. She enjoyed success as an amateur and was runner-up at the 1996 Australian Girls' Amateur, losing the final to Gloria Park 2 and 1.[1] She won the 1999 Australian Women's Amateur, and the Australian Women's Amateur Stroke Play Championship twice, in 1999 and 2001.[2]

She represented Australia internationally and won the Tasman Cup in 1999 and 2001, the Astor Trophy in 1999, and appeared twice at the Espirito Santo Trophy, and three times at the Queen Sirikit Cup, where she won the individual title in 2001 after a playoff with Kim Joo-mi.

Professional career

[edit]

Stevenson finished 19th at the LET Qualifying School in late 2002 and joined the Ladies European Tour in 2003.[3]

As a rookie, she was runner-up in her second start, finishing a stroke behind Laura Davies alongside Karrie Webb at the 2003 ANZ Ladies Masters after three rounds of 68. She finished 14th in the rankings and secured the LET Rookie of the Year title, the third Australian after Karrie Webb and Anne-Marie Knight to do so.[4]

Stevenson clinched her maiden professional victory in the 2006 Titanium Enterprises ALPG Players Championship, a A$200,000 ALPG Tour event at Pelican Waters Golf Club in Queensland.[5][6]
