When she's not playing golf, Dewi likes to play field hockey and go sailing and rock climbing. She is the first Dutch player to qualify for the LPGA Tour. At the top of her bucket list would be a trip to Indonesia because she's part Indonesian and a hiking trip with her closest friends with nothing but their tents. Says if she could be on a TV show, she would choose either Survivor or Amazing Race. Was a sociology major at USC.
