Achip-in eagle on the par-5 10th hole gave her a solo lead that she never left until the end. Hannah eventually won the event with a score of -20, while Hayden Hopewell and Andrew Evans finished second. Previously, Su Oh’s T-3 finish was the best at TPS Murray River for a female golfer. 

Green revealed that competing in this event wasn’t in her plans. “I feel amazing. I just feel so grateful that I came. It wasn’t in my plans to play here. I was going to go back to Perth – but things happen for a reason, and I am really glad I made it,” Green said. “It was really nice to have a buffer coming down the last because I was really nervous.”

Notably, this was her 8th professional win and has already registered two LPGA Tour victories in her career so far. Meanwhile, the 25-year-olds next goal is to break into the top 10 by the season’s end.
