Ivanna was the top ranked junior and held the number one senior amateur ranking in South Africa for nearly two years before she joined the pro ranks in 2016. She represented South Africa on many occasions and her international highlights include the 27th World Amateur Team Championship in Mexico, two trips to the Junior World Cup in Japan, winning the All-Africa Challenge Trophy in Tunisia for a record 12th time and being presented with a silver medal by His Royal Highness Prince Andrew as the runner-up in the Girl’s Division of the Duke of York Young Champions Trophy. On home soil, the 18-year-old Ruimsig Country Club golfer guided the Ladies Golf Gauteng A-team to victories in the SA Women’s Inter-Provincial and Women’s 72-Hole Championship for two years running in 2015 and 2016. Ivanna had her first taste of the pro ranks as an amateur on the 2016 Sunshine Ladies Tour, where she impressed with four top 10 finishes in five starts. In preparation for her pro debut on the 2017 Sunshine Ladies Tour, she cut her teeth on the country’s premier golf development circuit – the IGT Challenge Tour – where she notched a six place finish in the IGT’s Irene Challenge just two weeks before she tested the waters in the Pink Stig Invitational at Sun City in November.
