Some athletes are spoilt for talent.

The world's best women's tennis player and former cricket professional is now a golf champion.

Australian Ash Barty's sitting out the current season and will miss the French Open due to Covid-19 fears.

She's put her spare time to use from tee to green, winning her local matchplay championship title at the Brookwater Club in Queensland.

According to Australian media reports, Barty is a single-figure handicapper and impressed Tiger Woods with her swing during an promo event before last year's Presidents Cup in Melbourne.

She has won eight tennis tournaments including her maiden grand slam title at the French Open last year after returning to the game in 2016.
