Australia’s Hannah Green has become the first woman to win a 72-hole mixed gender tournament on any of the world’s leading golf tours, when she romped to a four-shot victory in the TPS Murray River at Cobram Barooga Golf Club in New South Wales.
Major championship winner Green showed she was ready for another big year on the LPGA Tour as she overcame gusty conditions and a clutch of male rivals to shoot a closing a five-under-par 66 and finish at 20 under par.
The 25-year-old world No.30 started the final round in a four-way tie for the lead with Andrew Evans, Matthew Millar and Blake Collyer, but separated herself when she chipped in for eagle on the par-5 10th hole to go three clear and never looked back.
