Aussie Green hangs on to win Women's World Championship by one shot

Hannah Green secured her second Women's World Championship title in Singapore, finishing one stroke ahead of American Auston Kim.

Hannah Green has won the Women's World Championship held in Singapore, marking her second title in this tournament in just three years. The Australian golfer clinched the victory with a score of 14-under-par, just one stroke ahead of fellow competitor Auston Kim from the United States. In a tense final round, Green managed to secure her win with a 3-under-par 69, demonstrating skill and composure despite some unpredictable play on the back nine of the course.

Green's victory was not without challenges; she started the final round tied at the top with compatriot Minjee Lee but had to fend off Kim, who finished the day with an impressive score that matched the best round of the day. Lee, who had previously been a co-leader in the tournament, ended up sharing third place with Angel Yin from America and France's Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, all finishing at 11-under-par. Green's victory continues to solidify her reputation in the golfing world, especially following her previous championship win at the Women's PGA Championship in 2019.

This win for Green is significant not just for her personal achievements, but also for Australian women in sports, showcasing their talents on an international stage. The Sentosa Golf Club remains a memorable venue for Green, as it hosted her previous triumph in 2024. The competitive spirit displayed throughout the tournament illustrates the rising profile of women's golf and the fierce competition among the top players today.
