Rebecca Lee-Bentham was born in 1992 in Canada.
She started playing golf at the age of 12. As an amateur,
she really started to bloom in 2010, when she won the Canadian
Junior Girls Championship and played in the Canadian Women's
Open and US Women's Open for the first time.
In 2011, she had more success, winning the
Canadian Women's Amateur Championship, which earned her a
spot in the Canadian Women's Open again. She did not make
the cut that year, either.
But in the fall, she decided to turn pro,
leaving the University of Texas, where she had played for
one year. She entered LPGA Qualifying School and, remarkably,
finished tied for 9th to earn full status for the tour in
2012.
