Australian WPGA: Hannah Green claims third successive tournament win


World number seven Hannah Green became the first Australian women’s golfer to win three successive international tournaments when she claimed victory at the Australian WPGA Championship on Sunday.

The 29-year-old went into the Ladies European Tour (LET) event after back-to-back victories at the Australian Open and the LPGA’s Women’s World Championship in Singapore.

Green carded a two-under-par final round of 69 to finish on 16 under – four shots clear of the field at the Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club on the Gold Coast.

“It feels really amazing – it’s been a really crazy month and really special to be able to do this in Australia,” said the one-time major champion, who had never won on the LET before her Australian Open title in Adelaide at the start of February.
