What did Hanna Green do?
Australian Hannah Green becomes the first woman to win a pro-mixed-gender event. The class has prevailed as Hannah Green scored a dominant four-shot victory in the $200,000 TPS Murray River, becoming the first woman to win a 72-hole mixed-gender tournament on any of the world’s leading golf tours.
Has Hanna Green won a major?
In June 2019, Green won her first major (and first LPGA Tour event), the Women’s PGA Championship, by one stroke over defending champion Park Sung-Hyun.
Her previous three professional victories were on the LPGA-affiliated Symetra Tour in 2017, when she first received her professional license. This was only her seventh major start, and her previous best finish on the LPGA Tour was third at the 2018 ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open.
She had to work for it. Ariya Jutanugarn, one of the most intimidating golfers in the world, was playing alongside her when she started out a shot ahead. She quickly jumped out to a four-shot lead with two early bogeys as the Thai superstar struggled.
