No one does country club chic better thanPolo Ralph Lauren, andBig Little Lies’starKathryn Newtonjust proved it.
The 22-year-old actress and avid golfer teamed up with the All-American label for a stylish week at theUS Open Golf Championshipin Pebble Beach, California — a town in Monterey County right near where she films the HBO hit series.
“I grew up on a golf course,” Newton (who plays Abigail, the eldest daughter ofReese Witherspoon’scharacter Madeline Mackenzie), tells PEOPLE. “I always loved playing in tournaments. It’s awesome to be here at Pebble Beach where the US Open is and where we shotBig Little Lies.I’m so lucky I play golf because when I’m filming, I get to take my clubs, go play and see the town.”

Newton also got to join in on a few practice rounds with Polo Ralph Lauren-sponsored Professional Golf Association players like Billy Horschel (but not before picking out the perfect sporty look).
“Golf outfits make me play better if I feel fierce in them,” thePokémon Pikachu Detectivestar tells PEOPLE. “So they’re very important to my game. To be here with [Polo Ralph Lauren] is kind of an honor. I love the style. It’s so traditional, but it has a modern twist.”
At the US Open, Newton — who tells PEOPLE she turns to vintage photos for style inspiration, rather than social media — rocked gingham pants, a neon green polo and a matching visor. She says, “On a golf course, you can totally get away with something crazy and a lot of bright colors.”
“Sorry Madeline,” she says, referring toReese Witherspoon’s character’s preppy style.
