Australian Hannah Green made a 30ft birdie putt on the final hole to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 27-year-old fired a five-under-par 67 on Sunday, including three birdies in her last three holes, to edge out France’s Celine Boutier.<\/p>\n
Green started the final day at Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club in second place behind Japan’s Ayaka Furue. <\/p>\n
She bogeyed the 10th but finished on 13 under after her late run of birdies to clinch a fourth LPGA Tour victory.<\/p>\n
Boutier matched Green with a final-round 67 and was 12 under while Furue had to settle for a share of eighth spot at seven under after double-bogeying her final hole.<\/p>\n
Green’s winning putt on the 18th sparked huge celebrations as she sealed her first win since last year’s JM Eagle LA Championship.<\/p>\n
“I knew I needed to at least birdie the last to win by one. As soon as that putt went in, I was like ‘Oh my God, I’ve won’,” said Green.<\/p>\n
“You have to take these highs when they come because it doesn’t always come and golf can be a learning sport sometimes.<\/p>\n
“I almost won the championship in 2021 when I was playing it for the first time. I remembered I three-putted 17 and then a three-putt again on 18 to lose.<\/p>\n
“It feels great to have this trophy in my hands now.<\/p>\n
“Celine played great today but she didn’t end up with the trophy in her hands. But she should still be proud of how she performed under this pressure.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
