World No.6 Hannah Green has reflected and reset as she sets her sights on more major championship glory at this week’s US Women’s Open at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles.
Green has spent the past two weeks at home in Perth after an extraordinary start to her 2026 season that has yielded four wins, including an historic double of the women’s Australian Open and Australian WPGA Championship in consecutive weeks.

The 29-year-old also won the JM Eagle LA Championship for a third time before finishing equal seventh at the Chevron Championship, the first of five LPGA majors in 2026.
Green will make her eighth US Women’s Open appearance this week, having finished inside the top 16 each of the past three years.
“I feel like it’s probably the major where I’ve had my most consistent results,” Green said. “I’ve been fortunate to play, I think, seven or eight at US Opens now, so I kind of feel like I know what to expect coming into the week.
“I think I’ve done a good job the past couple of years. I’ve been able to space my practice and also my practice rounds a little bit more out so that I’m not so fatigued or feel like I’m rushing to get everything done come Wednesday night.
“Obviously having the trip home as well, I think that will probably put me in a good mindset to continue the success that I’ve had this year.”
Green is one of six Australians who will contest the US Women’s Open alongside three-time major winner Minjee Lee, Evian champion Grace Kim, Sydney’s Steph Kyriacou, Karis Davidson and Queensland amateur Sarah Hammett.
After celebrating her women’s Australian Open with a McFlurry and then splurging on a duty-free bag leaving Singapore after her HSBC Women’s World Championship victory, Green’s trip home has been a mix of celebrations, relaxation and refinement with coach Ritchie Smith.
Her tie for seventh in Texas was Green’s first major championship top 10 since the 2022 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship – her maiden major to date, which she won in 2019 – and the West Australian taking plenty of positives from her Chevron result.
“The first couple of days it was definitely on my mind that I hadn’t had success,” said Green, who went into the first major of 2026 straight after a fourth win from her past five starts.
“I hadn’t been playing the weekend at the Chevron Championship so I felt like I put maybe a little bit more pressure on myself than I normally would if it was say the week before in LA.
“I felt like I wasn’t actually playing as bad as the score showed, so when I finally had a good round going on a Sunday, I kind of felt like this is how I was playing the rest of the week. It was perhaps I just made a putt where I perhaps didn’t make it on the Friday.
“I felt like in a way I got lucky… Not lucky, but I felt like I didn’t perform like sometimes I do to get into the top 10 at a major.
“It was kind of nice to feel like even though I didn’t have exactly my best stuff, even though it was still good, I was able to have that result.”
