Hannah Green has won seven LPGA events, but this one was extra special. That’s because her husband, Jarryd Felton, was on the bag.
Heading into the final round of the HSBC Women’s World Championship, Green was tied with fellow Australian Minjee Lee for the lead and they played in the final pairing, along with Angel Yin. Green birdied the first hole at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore and she confidently played consistent golf all day Sunday. She never lost that lead.
Green shot a three-under 69 to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship for the second time after lifting the trophy in 2024 as well. She shot 71-66-68-69 for a 14-under-par 274 and won by one shot over American Auston Kim. World No. 1 Jenno Thitikul tied for 31st place after winning in her native Thailand just a week ago. It was her worst finish since a missed cut at the U.S. Women’s Open last summer.
After the 29-year-old Green was showered with champagne by a contingent of Aussies, she hugged Felton. They did a cheers with bottles, then each took a sip. It was well-deserved as it’s Green’s first win with Felton as her caddie.

“I really don’t know what it is but I always enjoy my time in Singapore,” Green told Golf Channel. “Sentosa is an amazing venue. You could putt on some of these tee boxes. It helps there are a lot of Australians that come out and support me. I also think having my husband on the bag was also very helpful, too … It was probably the most nervous I’ve been on a golf course. It was really helpful having him by my side. It was also nice playing with Minjee, obviously a friend of mine. He did really well. I don’t know if this is going to continue, my usual caddie Dave [Buhai] is still [my caddie] for everyone who still thinks this is a full-time thing, just to put that out there. But yes, obviously, he’s done very well and we have a couple more tournaments to go. Hopefully, we can repeat this.”
It was a cool celebration between golfer and caddie, husband and wife. Felton is a professional golfer as well. He caddied for Green—ranked 20th in the world— last week at the Honda LPGA Thailand, where Green tied for seventh. Felton was emotional as Green smiled throughout the trophy presentation. Green earned $450,000 for the victory.
“It was unbelievable. She obviously dug deep toward the end,” Felton told Golf Channel. “The birdie on 15, felt like that’s when she felt like she had a chance to win this tournament. We did what we needed to do down the stretch. She wanted to hit some shots and she hit them. She’s so good under pressure. It’s everything I wish I could be as a player as well.”
Green made a five-foot eagle putt on No. 8 to take a three-shot lead and eventually led by four. Things got close at the end as Green bogeyed three of the last five holes. By the time she got to the 72nd hole, she needed just two putts to win, and that’s exactly what she delivered.
The victory surely was big for Green’s confidence since she had a winless 2025, despite 29 different players having victories. Green’s last win came at the BMW Ladies Championship in 2024. She’s now won in Singapore twice and also twice at the JM Eagle LA Championship in Los Angeles.

If history is an indicator, this should be another big year for Green. After she and Felton married in January of 2024, Green won three events that season. She moved to as high as No. 5 in the world rankings, too.
“We got married two years ago but this is a pretty good day, too,” Felton said.
They both were nervous, but it didn’t show. Green’s focus will now be on the majors. She missed the cut in three of five majors last season and a tie for 12th in the U.S. Women’s Open was her best finish.
Green won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2019 and has longed for another major over the last nearly seven years.
“It sets up your year,” Green said. “You can kind of change your scheduled and prioritize your everything for the majors. It’s nice to hit the ground running. I might have to change my goals now.”
