Perth’s Hannah Green has won her third LPGA Tour event of 2024 with a one shot victory over Frenchwoman Celine Boutier in the BMW Ladies Championship in Korea.
Green will take her earnings for 2024 to US$1,912,000 and move the 27 year old to 5th in the Race to The Globe rankings.
Beginning the final round two shots clear of the field, Green was forced to pull out all stops to hold off a spirited late challenge from Boutier who put together a final round of 66 including a final nine of 31 to all but catch the eventual winner.
Green’s final nine holes herself on Saturday played a key role in the victory, recording a 4 under par 32 to claim the lead heading into the final round.
Green’s win was the 6th on the LPGA, her earnings to date in 2024 some US$700,000 past her previous best season with another five tournaments still remaining on the schedule.
Lydia Ko 12th and Min Jee Lee 33rd were the next best of the Australasians.
The LPGA Tour now moves to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia for this week’s Maybank Championship.
