Hannah Green: Australia’s surprise new major golf champion

Hannah Green has jumped from the ranks to be just the third woman in Australian golfing history to win a major championship.

The 22-year-old from Mt Lawley Golf Club in Perth rolled in a par putt from just inside two metres at Hazeltine National Golf Club just outside Minneapolis to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship by a shot after an epic final day.

She was immediately mobbed on the green by none other than Karrie Webb, the seven-time major champion who has mentored her, and fellow pro Su Oh.
