From Territory roots to professional dreams
Born in Alice Springs and raised in Darwin before settling in Caboolture, Bosio’s journey in golf began with plastic clubs and Sunday rounds alongside her father Luke. Those early days following her dad around the course planted the seeds for what would become a remarkable career trajectory.
The young golfer’s connection to the sport runs deep—her parents often recall how even as a toddler, the mere sight of golf on television would instantly calm her tears. This natural affinity for the game has evolved into a composed presence on the course that belies her years.
Her progression through the ranks has been steady and impressive. After joining Caboolture Golf Club at age 10, she quickly developed her skills, shooting her first even-par round by age 12. In 2020, she broke new ground as the first female winner of the Keperra Bowl, marking her entry into Golf Australia’s High Performance programs.
Justice Bosio, the calm competitor
Bosio’s game is built on precision and patience. “I would say that I’m a pretty calm golfer,” she explains, describing her methodical approach to course management. Her accuracy off the tee and consistent iron play have become hallmarks of her style, though she continues to work on adding distance to compete with LPGA Tour standards.
Her development has been enriched by opportunities to play alongside some of Australia’s greatest golfers. A particularly memorable experience came at TPS Victoria, where she was paired with golf legends Karrie Webb and Geoff Ogilvy. The very next day, she demonstrated her potential by shooting an impressive nine-under par round.
Breaking new ground
The invitation to compete in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur marked another significant milestone in her career. As only the fifth Australian to receive this honor, Bosio joins an elite group of players who have earned the chance to compete at one of golf’s most hallowed grounds.
Despite her youth, Bosio has made a remarkably smooth transition to professional golf. Her maturity, honed through years of competing against older players, is evident in her composed performances on the professional circuit.

As Bosio builds her Rolex Ranking and gains more experience on tour, the golf world watches with interest to see what this rising star will achieve next.
