HBO and CBS star Kathryn Newton at U.S. Women's Open to watch childhood friend Megan Khang

SAN FRANCISCO - Celebrity sightings are common in California. But when the U.S. Women’s Open is staged in The Golden State, the stars are usually inside the ropes, not outside.

Saturday, standing along the rope line at the first tee at The Olympic Club was actress Kathryn Newton. Known for her roles in Big Little Lies on HBO and Gary Unmarried on CBS, Newton is an avid golfer. She played for her team at Notre Dame High School in Southern California and starred in the USGA’s promotional movie-trailer style commercial for the U.S. Women’s Open, in which she drove a golf cart through the desert.
