Rebecca "Becky" Dawn Brewerton (born 20 October 1982
in St. Asaph) is a Welsh professional golfer and a
member of the Ladies European Tour.
Becky Brewerton had a successful amateur career. She
was Welsh Girls Champion in 1997 and 1998 and Welsh
Ladies Champion in 1999 and 2001. She became British
Ladies Open amateur strokeplay champion in 1999 and
2002, a year she also became European Women's
Individual Amateur Champion.
She represented Great Britain and Ireland in the
Curtis Cup in 2000, and the Vagliano Trophy in 2001
and 2003. She was initially in the 2002 Curtis Cup
squad but was somewhat controversially dropped from
the final team but played in the 2002 Espirito Santo
Trophy World Amateur Golf Team Championships and was
named as the Daily Telegraph Golfer of the year.
She received two invitations to play on the Ladies
European Tour in 2003. She held the halfway lead at
the Tenerife Ladies Open in May finally finishing
the tournament in second place and was beaten into
second place again at the Wales WPGA Championship by
a 74 foot birdie putt on the final green by Shani
Waugh.
She turned professional after she finished 13th at
the 2003 Ladies European Tour Qualifying School.
In her 2004 rookie season Brewerton was second in
the Ryder Cup Wales Rookie of the Year competition
and finished 8th on the Order of Merit with 4 top
ten finishes. She followed up with 4 more top tens
in 2005 which gave her a 19th place finish on the
moneylist. In 2006 she had 5 top tens and finished
15th on the New Star Money List.
In 2005, together with Becky Morgan, she finished
6th in the Women's World Cup of Golf in South
Africa. The pair improved on that performance in
2006 finishing 3rd, added an eighth place finish in
2007 and a sixth place in 2008.
Her maiden professional victory was a three stroke
win at the 2007 Ladies English Open. This, plus four
other top ten finishes, earned Brewerton a place on
the 2007 European Solheim Cup Team, the first Welsh
golfer to make the team. These results ensured that
Brewerton was 2nd placed bin the BBC Wales Sports
Personality of the Year 2007, and was voted The
Towergate Professional Player of the Year.
