Women's World Championship: Hannah Green wins LPGA Tour title for second time ahead of Auston Kim

Australian Hannah Green won the HSBC Women's World Championship for a second time after holding off fast-finishing American Auston Kim to claim a one-stroke victory.

Green, the 2019 Women's PGA Championship winner, closed with a 69 after an erratic back nine - with three birdies and three bogeys - nearly opened the door for Kim.

The 29-year-old tapped in for a bogey at the last and a 14-under four-round total of 274 at the par-72 Sentosa Golf Club which gave her another title in Singapore after also winning there in 2024.

Kim had the equal-best round of the day with a 67 on the back of six birdies and an eagle, but bogeys at the second and especially at the par-three 15th ended her charge at 13-under 275, and one shot behind a faltering Green.

Minjee Lee, who had been co-leader with Green coming into Sunday's final round, mixed three birdies with three bogeys for a frustrating level-par final round of 72 and was tied for third with Angel Yin (71) and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) of France at 11-under 277.

Top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul, who won last week's tournament in her native Thailand, shot 73 and was two-under 287 and tied for 31st. She was one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko, who had a 72.

England's Charley Hull, Mimi Rhodes and Lottie Woad all finished in a tie for 10th on six under, with Hull going three under across the final round.

The 72-player, no-cut tournament was the second of three stops on the LPGA's early year Asian swing, with the final one next week at Hainan Island, China.
