Hannah Green makes a slice of golf history

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. 

Young Western Australia amateur Hayden Hopewell came from well back with eight birdies in a round of 65 to tie for second with New South Welshman Evans (70).

Rookie pro Grace Kim (68) gave another glimpse of her bright future as she tied for fourth with young Kiwi pro Momoka Kobori (69)

The tournament was part of the innovative Webex Players Series which was introduced at the start of 2021 and has men and women competing in the same field - from adjusted tees - for the same prize purse and one trophy as part of the PGA Tour of Australasia and WPGA Tour schedules.

The best previous finish by a woman had been Su Oh's tie for third at TPS Victoria last year.
