Australia’s Hannah Green won the LPGA’s Women’s World Championship in Singapore after her husband stepped in as her caddie.<\/p>\n
With Green’s usual caddie unable to leave the USA while he applies for a green card, her husband Jarryd Felton – who is a professional golfer – filled the role for the second time this year.<\/p>\n
Green, 29, carded a three-under-par 69 on Sunday to finish one shot clear of American Auston Kim and win this title for a second time.<\/p>\n
She married Felton in 2024 and has also caddied for her husband in the past.<\/p>\n
“It was absolutely a team effort over the last two weeks, and it’s very special to share my seventh win, which is also my favourite number, with him,” said Green.<\/p>\n
“My usual caddie is applying for a green card and couldn’t leave the US, so it wasn’t part of the plan for the season. Luckily, my husband was able to pick up the bag for me.”<\/p>\n
Green started the day tied for the lead with three-time major champion Minjee Lee, but took control with an early birdie followed by an eagle on the eighth hole.<\/p>\n
Green sank three more birdies on the final nine, and – despite a nervous finish after bogeying her final two holes – ended on 14 under overall to win this tournament for the second time in three years, having triumphed in 2024.<\/p>\n
“I was feeling nervous and told Jarryd a couple of times that I wasn’t comfortable. He reminded me to take a deep breath, have a snack or even sip some water,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t played with this kind of adrenaline in a long time, and we handled it really well.”<\/p>\n
England’s Charley Hull, Mimi Rhodes and Lottie Woad all finished in a tie for 10th on six under.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia’s Hannah Green won the LPGA’s Women’s World Championship in Singapore after her husband stepped in as her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-497616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
