The new-look Australian Open has received two exceptional outcomes with the commitment of ISPS Handa as naming rights partner for the next three years and Major champion Hannah Green committing to the historic mixed-gender event in Melbourne this year.
Australia has three strong chances of another Major victory with Hannah Green, Minjee Lee and Stephanie Kyriacou are all inside the top 10 heading into the weekend of the AIG Women’s Open at Muirfield.
News of Lauren Stephenson’s recent bid to play in a PGA Tour event leaves unanswered the following questions: when will a woman again tee it up with the men? And who might it be?
Hannah Green shot a dazzling, second-round 66 to pinch the lead from her WA compatriot Minjee Lee at the LPGA Tour’s Palos Verdes Championship in California today.
Hannah Green is positioned to make history as the first woman to win a Webex Players Series event as the West Australian took a share of the lead on day one of the TPS Murray River in memory of Jarrod Lyle.
It was not as smooth sailing as many expected it would be but Hannah Green held her nerve to claim her biggest win on home soil at 13th Beach on Sunday.
Superstar Hannah Green has a stranglehold on the Vic Open while New South Welshman John Lyras will sleep on the lead in the men’s tournament for a third consecutive night.
The trio ended the day in a share of the lead at six-under par in cool and calm conditions – particularly in the morning – at Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula.
