Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green won her second title at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore on Sunday, beating Auston Kim.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish Sentosa Golf Club with a three-under-par 69 and a final score of 14-under par. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner bogeyed her 18th to claim her seventh LPGA Tour victory.
“When I won in Singapore two years ago, I won two other tournaments that season and had pretty much my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So, winning this early in the season gives me a little more flexibility in the tournaments I can play in. So hopefully this can lead to good results for the rest of the season.”
Green recorded birdies on the 1st, 11th, and 13th holes and an eagle on the par-5 8th hole, then recorded 16 under par. A birdie on the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew I had enough of a lead that I could make mistakes and get away with it, but I think 15 years is the real turning point,” she said.
Kim, the leader in the first and second rounds, shot a 67 in her lowest round of the day and was one stroke behind the green in the 72-hole no-cut tournament, almost going for her first title.
Kim recorded six birdies and an eagle on the eighth hole, but a bogey on the par-3 15th hole was a major blow to the 25-year-old American.
“I think overall it was a really good week,” said Kim. “It’s a great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots, but I also hit a lot of good shots, and that was a real confidence booster. I felt like I was hitting all these bad shots and not picking up anything on my A game, but I was still able to pull off a result like this and play really solid golf.”
Australia’s Lee Min-ji (72nd), Angel Yin (71), and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11 under par, while Korea’s Ryu Hye-ran (72) took sole sixth place.
World No. 1 Geno Titikul (Thailand) shot 73 and was tied for 31st at 2 under par, one stroke behind defending champion Lydia Go (New Zealand).
