She was raised on a Florida golf course and was a star player on her high school’s team.
According to a 2015 Golf Digest story, she was ready for a U.S. Women’s Open qualifier in 2012.
Kathryn Newton was also an actress, and she quit the clubs to pursue her acting career when she was offered the lead role in the fourth installment “Paranormal Activity”.
Next up for her is Cassie Lang, who plays the role of Antman’s daughter, played by Paul Rudd in Marvel Cinematic Universe. A February release is planned for “Ant-Man and the Wasp – Quantumania”.
Newton was however back on the course three weeks ago at the Old Course in St. Andrews to play in the pro-am before the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Newton was paired up with Matt Wallace, an English golfer. The pair placed 118th of 167 teams.
Newton said that acting is easier than playing golf, during an interview with CNN’s The Jazzy Golfer. “I don’t say this lightly, because I respect my acting and my fellow actors. “When I look at the pros here today, it feels like they are magicians to me.”
She was a regular scorer in the 70s, when she played a lot. Once, she shot 69 but stated that she is “pretty blown away” by the pros and will continue acting.
She doesn’t think she’s incapable of thinking about ‘What if?’
She said, “Oh yes, then I think, ‘Thank goodness I’m not,’” to CNN. However, she was asked if she would rather win an Oscar than a major.
She said, “Win a major for sure.”
