Australian Hannah Green made a 30ft birdie putt on the final hole to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship. The 27-year-old fired a five-under-par 67 including three birdies in her last three holes, to edge out France’s Celine Boutier.

Green started the final day at Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club in second place behind Japan’s Ayaka Furue. She bogeyed the 10th but finished on 13 under after her late run of birdies to clinch a fourth LPGA Tour victory.

When Hannah Green rolled in a 20-footer for birdie on 17^th hole, she knew she had a chance. But could she make her third straight birdie and win the HSBC Women’s World Championship outright? She could. And she did.

Australian Hannah Green made a 30ft birdie putt on the final hole to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship.

Tied with Celine Boutier on the 18th tee, Green hit a 6-iron into the green and then drained the winning putt from about 40 feet away. Boutier, playing in the group ahead, took a two-shot lead when she made a long birdie putt on 15, but she parred the final three to shoot a bogey-free 67 and take the clubhouse lead at 12 under.

That’s when Green turned it on. Playing in the final group, Green rolled in a short birdie putt on 16, canned a tricky birdie look on 17 and then capped it with her walk-off winner on the 18th at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore.

It’s the fourth career LPGA Tour victory for the 27-year-old Australian pro.

Green’s winning putt on the 18th sparked huge celebrations as she sealed her first win since last year’s JM Eagle LA Championship.

“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.

“You have to take these highs when they come because it doesn’t always come and golf can be a learning sport sometimes. 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. It feels great to have this trophy in my hands now,” she reminisced.

“A few years ago, I almost had this trophy in my hand and made two bogeys coming down the last,” she continued. “Almost like it was meant to be today for me, holing those two putts today on the last two holes. I’m so happy to have this in my hands.”

Ayaka Furue held the 54-hole lead at 10 under, with Green two back to start the day and Boutier three off the lead. But Furue didn’t make her first birdie until the 14th, and she played the last four in four over.

Green won despite hitting the least number of fairways in the field all week (28 of 56), although she ranked near the top of the field for greens in regulation, averaging 13.5 GIR per round, highlighted by hitting 16 of 18 on Sunday. She closed with her third straight 67 after she opened the week with a 74.
