Career

McCallum started playing golf at age 15 and won six national amateur tournaments. She turned professional in 2008 and joined the LET in 2009. She secured her first professional win at the 2009 South African Women's Open but not a LET-sanctioned event at the time, she had to go back to Q-School at the end of her rookie year to keep her LET card. In 2010 she emerged as part of a 4-way playoff at the Hero Honda Women's Indian Open, eventually losing the playoff to Laura Davies.

In 2012 she finished tied second at the Lalla Meryem Cup together with Marianne Skarpnord, three strokes behind Karen Lunn. She started in the 2012 Women's British Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club but did not make the cut. [2] She also finished tied fourth at the South African Women's Open, two strokes behind Caroline Masson, ending the season a career best 50th in the LET Order of Merit. [1]

Leaving the LET to join the Sunshine Ladies Tour in 2014 she won the Sun International Ladies Challenge and finished third in the inaugural Order of Merit, behind Lee-Anne Pace and Monique Smit. [3] She was runner-up at the 2017 Dimension Data Ladies Challenge, 2018 and 2019 Investec Royal Swazi (Ladies), 2019 Joburg Ladies Open and 2020 SuperSport Ladies Challenge. [4]
