Hannah Green Wins Singapore Championship
Australia's Hannah Green captured the Women's World Championship in Singapore, outlasting a strong international field in challenging conditions. Green's victory marks her second career win in Singapore and underscores her status as an LPGA Tour mainstay. She held off Minjee Lee and a late surge from the field with precise iron play and clutch putting down the stretch.
Green's victory was hard-fought, finishing with a one-stroke victory over a charging Auston Kim of the United States. Green entered the final round as a co-leader with fellow Australian Minjee Lee, both at 11-under par. An erratic back nine with three birdies and three bogeys nearly cost her the title, but she held on to win. The win is Green's second at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore, with her first victory at the event coming in 2024. This victory marks her first win in over fourteen months. For her win, Green took home $450,000 from the $3 million total prize purse. The tournament, often dubbed "Asia's Major," was held at the Sentosa Golf Club and featured a 72-player field with no cut. The event is a key stop on the LPGA's early-season Asian swing. This was a significant win for the 2019 Women's PGA Championship winner, adding to her multiple LPGA Tour titles. Her husband, Jarryd Felton, who is also a professional golfer, was serving as her caddie for the week.
