Porter, meanwhile, smashed the course record at Kooyonga by three shots in the process, making ten birdies for the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m kind of speechless right now, to be honest,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just really nice for everything to come together. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know as professional golfers and amateur golfers and everyone that just plays golf dreams of a day that everything just works. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m very fortunate that today was that day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Porter revealed that a perhaps tongue-in-cheek conversation with her partner before the beginning of the round planted the seed of charging towards an unlikely victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis morning my boyfriend just said, \u2018Hey, well you\u2019re not out of it if you shoot 10 under\u2019,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo I guess obviously that\u2019s in the back of your mind as a joke, but then I started holing some putts and then I kept holing some putts and then I was like, \u2018Oh wow, maybe I\u2019m two behind now\u2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, I think maybe down the 18th I said to Blandy, \u2018Hey look, if we get a birdie here, we\u2019ve a good chance we have to hang around\u2019. So yeah, maybe down the 18th, but I wasn\u2019t really thinking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laisne was the one who threatened to play the role of party pooper throughout the day.<\/p>\n
The Ladies European Tour, who co-sanctioned the tournament with the WPGA Tour of Australasia, player shot a five-under 67 to make a run.<\/p>\n
And the 26-year-old put Green under pressure with two superb par saves on the back nine – a chip-in at the 15th and a lengthy putt on 18.<\/p>\n
Green will look to make it an Australian double next week at the WPGA Championship on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hannah Green has broken Australia\u2019s 12-year drought, winning the women\u2019s Australian Open by one shot at Kooyonga Golf…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":541633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[3443,2620,2095,1724,64,171609,63,689,268342,244249,12171,226834,676,3738,2485,755,8462,268341,265322,1745,256732,29757,234505,29741,59826,2041,2067,677,163614,265323,268340,54505,701,942,1124,2812,85,2614,9020],"class_list":["post-541632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-adelaide","tag-agence-france-presse","tag-america","tag-asia","tag-au","tag-aussie-star","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-open-golf-championship","tag-brenton-edwards","tag-clutch-finish","tag-course-record","tag-final-round","tag-fox-sports","tag-gold-coast","tag-golf","tag-golf-ball","tag-golf-dreams","tag-golf-majors","tag-golf-news","tag-jarryd-felton","tag-karrie-webb","tag-kooyonga-golf-club","tag-ladies-professional-golf-association","tag-maiden-australian","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-oceania","tag-party-pooper","tag-players-championships","tag-professional-golfer-husband","tag-professional-golfers","tag-queensland","tag-singapore","tag-south-australia","tag-south-eastern-asia","tag-sports","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-young-gun"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/541633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
