Singapore, 1 March 2026 – Australia’s Hannah Green delivered another winning performance at the HSBC Women’s World Championship, firing a final round three-under-par 69 with help from her husband on the bag to claim a one-shot victory on Sunday.
Green returned to the winner’s circle again with her winning total of 14-under-par 274. It was the 29-year-old’s seventh LPGA victory and second HSBC Women’s World Championship following her victory at The Tanjong, Sentosa Golf Club in 2024.
With her latest win, the Perth native joins Jin Young Ko and Inbee Park as the third two-time winner of the HSBC Women’s World Championship and also her first LPGA Tour win, with her husband, Jarryd Felton, as her caddie.
“It’s been a really good couple of weeks. My usual caddie is applying for a green card and couldn’t leave the U.S., so it wasn’t part of the plan for the season. Luckily, my husband was able to pick up the bag for me.
“It was absolutely a team effort over the last two weeks, and it’s very special to share my seventh win, which is also my favourite number with him,” said Green.
American Auston Kim, who led the first two rounds, closed with a 67 to finish second, while 11-time LPGA winner and three-time Major champion Minjee Lee, who started the final round tied for the lead with Green, closed with a 72 to finish tied-third with France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and Angel Yin of the United States.
Green entered the final round tied for the lead with compatriot Lee. She immediately seized control with an opening birdie before an eagle-three on eight soared her further ahead.
After turning in 33, Green added further birdies on the 11th and 13th holes, before her momentum was halted by a bogey on 14.
She responded quickly by picking up another gain on 15. She dropped two more shots on 17 and 18, but it was still enough to pip Kim to her second HSBC Women’s World Championship title since 2024 by one shot.
“I was feeling nervous and told Jarryd a couple of times that I wasn’t comfortable. He reminded me to take a deep breath, have a snack or even sip some water. I haven’t played with this kind of adrenaline in a long time, and we handled it really well,” said Green.
Kim, now in her third season on the LPGA, remains in search of her breakthrough win. However, she believes she will come back stronger with the lessons she received on the golf course this week.
“There’s a lot to learn, both in golf and in life, and every day on the course is an opportunity to improve,” she reflected. “Every second competing is something I’m grateful for, and this week I gained a lot. I’m proud of that.”
Lee also chose to focus on the positives for the season ahead.
“This sets up a nice start to the year. I can take more positives than negatives from this week,” said Lee.
“My scrambling was strong, and the second round was excellent. I hope to build on this and make more birdies in the next tournament,” added Lee, who posted rounds of 72, 64, 69, and 72.
Singapore’s Chen Xingtong, closed with a 71 to finish tied-60th, while Shannon Tan signed off with a 75 to be placed tied-64th.
“I didn’t manage to showcase my best game, but I’m still happy that I was able to improve from last year, where I finished last,” said the 17-year-old.
