Model Golfer: Rawson eyes a title

By Jaydip Sengupta, Sports Writer

Whether she likes it or not, comparisons with tennis babe Anna Kournikova are bound to continue unless she wins a tournament on the LPGA Tour and fast.

Australian pin-up golfer Anna Rawson intends to change all that in 2009 after she qualified for a full-time tour card via Q school.

"It really is a great satisfaction and a big weight off my shoulders to have done that," she told XPRESS.

"For starters, I am more relaxed going into the Dubai Masters. After this tournament, I will take a break and carefully plan my schedule for next year. I don’t want to end up being exhausted at the start of the year itself," she added.

And needless to say, there’s only one thing on the model-turned-golfer’s mind. "I have to win a tournament next year," she said.

Would you consider cheerleading a sport?

Yes, why not?

No way

Are you joking

It's a sideshow, not the real deal
