Multi-talented athlete Ash Barty might have risen to the top of tennis, but the ever-modest Aussie still believes she is 'going to absolutely be struggling' when she takes on some of the world's biggest sports stars in the Icons Series golf tournament on Thursday night.
Barty - who remarkably plays off a handicap of just four - will take on an incredible list of sports stars that includes Premier League striker Harry Kane, Ricky Ponting, Super Bowl winner Ben Roethlisberger, cricket legend Brian Lara and Michael Phelps.
Her caddy for the event will be quite a familiar face to many: her fiance Garry Kissick, who is a trainee PGA golf professional at their local club, Brookwater in Brisbane's south-west.

Barty quipped she'd be putting her talented partner to the test when he carries the bag for her in the 10-hole tournament.
'I'm sure I will put Garry in some positions he has never seen before on the golf course,' she joked to Fox Sports.
