Australia’s two biggest stars in women’s golf, Hannah Green and Minjee Lee, fittingly shared the top Australian honours at the Women’s PGA Championship one day before they were set to be confirmed as the country’s Olympic golf team.
Sydney native Steph Kyriacou has turned around her Women’s PGA Championship hopes with a 69 on day two putting her at one-under-par through two rounds and five shots off the halfway lead.
The American continued her stellar play with a four-under 68 in the opening round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship to take the outright lead after the first round of a major for the first time in her 13-year career. Meanwhile, world No.5 Hannah Green is the best-placed Australian.
Ahead of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Korda and long-time caddie Jason McDede subtly changed their club-selection process to give the 25-year-old more responsibility on her club choices at Sahalee Country Club.
It was still an exceptional result for the Irishwoman who has spent more time on the LPGA living on the precipice of maintaining her card than in contention.
It started with a single signed golf ball. When Hannah Green serendipitously handed Lily Kostner the pearl at the 2019 ANA Inspiration, little did she know the impact she would have on the youngster from Minneapolis – and the bond that would follow.
The 2022 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship announced on Tuesday that the purse for this week’s LPGA major at Congressional Country Club has been doubled to $US9 million.
Per rule 5.6b(3), the two-stroke penalty knocked Fassi to a second-round 77, and at three-over she missed the weekend cut in the LPGA Tour Major by one shot.
