Hannah Green Wins Second Wire-to-Wire Victory of Her Career in Korea
For the first time since 2019, Hannah Green has won wire-to-wire at the BMW Ladies Championship. The Aussie co-led with two others after the first round and then was the solo leader in the clubhouse the rest of the week. She earned her third victory of 2024 joining Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko as players this season to win at least three times and is the first Aussie since Karrie Webb in 2006 to win at least three time in a single season. The day began with a two-stroke cushion for Green at 18-under and she was slow and steady throughout the day. She added to her lead with a birdie on No. 3 before dropping a shot back to down to 18-under with a bogey on No. 7, allowing those below her to close the gap. Meanwhile, Thailand’s Chanettee Wannasaen was having as good of a front nine as you could get. The Dana Open winner begun her day with a birdie on No. 1 before going birdie-eagle-birdie on holes 4, 5 and 6 to tie the lead with Green. She and Green both added another birdie each before making the turn at 19-under, tied for the lead. Story by LPGA Communications
