‘Acting’s way easier than golf’

She grew up on a golf course in Florida and became a standout player on her high school team.

In 2012, she was all set for a U.S. Women’s Open qualifier, according to a 2015 Golf Digest story.

But Kathryn Newton was also a budding actress and when she scored the leading role in the fourth installment of the “Paranormal Activity” movie franchise, she put away the clubs to chase her acting career.

Her next major role is playing Cassie Lang, the daughter of Antman, played by Paul Rudd, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is set for a February release.

Three weeks ago, however, Newton was back on the golf course, at the Old Course at St. Andrews, specifically, to participate in the pro-am ahead of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Newton was paired with English golfer Matt Wallace, and the pair finished 118th out of 167 teams.

“Acting’s way easier than golf,” Newton told CNN’s The Jazzy Golfer, at the event. “I (don’t) say that lightly because I have respect for my acting and my fellow actors. When I see the pros out here today, I feel like they’re magicians or something.”

Regularly scoring in the 70s when she played a lot, she once shot 69, but said: “I’m pretty blown away by the pros and I think I’m going to stick to acting.”

That’s not to say she doesn’t have thoughts of ‘What if’.

“Oh yes, and then I think, ‘Thank goodness I’m not,’” she told CNN, but was then asked would she rather win an Oscar or a major.

“Win a major, for sure,” she said.
