Hannah Green Defends HSBC Women’s World Championship Title With One-Stroke Win

A late 67 from Auston Kim fell one short after Green steadied a volatile finish with her husband caddying.

Overview

  • Green closed with a 3-under 69 to post 14-under 274 at Sentosa Golf Club’s par-72 Tanjong Course in Singapore.
  • Kim’s equal-best 67, featuring six birdies and an eagle, lifted her to 13-under 275 for solo second.
  • Minjee Lee, co-leader after 54 holes, shot an even-par 72 to tie for third at 11-under with Angel Yin and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard.
  • Green credited caddie Jarryd Felton, her husband, for keeping her composed as her regular caddie remained in the U.S. during a green card application.
  • The 72-player, no-cut event carried a $3 million purse and is the second stop of the LPGA’s Asian swing, which heads to Hainan Island next week.
