Hannah Green Makes History with Back-to-Back Wins at JM Eagle LA Championship

Hannah Green made history on Sunday by becoming the first person to defend her title on the LPGA Tour in 2024 with a thrilling win at the JM Eagle LA Championship. The Australian golfer showcased her skills at the challenging Wilshire Country Club, holing out twice from off the greens in a pivotal back-nine stretch to secure her fifth LPGA Tour victory and second of the year.

In a remarkable display of talent and composure, Green closed with a five-under 66 to beat her closest competitor, Maja Stark, by three strokes. The 27-year-old Australian finished at 12-under 272, showcasing her dominance on the course.

Reflecting on her victory, Green expressed her nerves and excitement, stating, “It wasn’t as eventful as the last couple of days. I was nervous, and I’ve never been able to win having a lead into the last hole like that, so it is nice to be able to get it done earlier in the round.”

Green’s key run began with a chip-in birdie on the par-3 12th and continued with a six-foot birdie putt on the par-five 13th. She then sealed the deal with a 25-foot eagle putt on the 15th hole, opening a four-stroke lead and ultimately clinching the win.

Stark, who finished second, showcased her resilience and skill throughout the tournament, rebounding from a bogey on the 16th hole to birdie the final two holes. The 24-year-old Swede has been a consistent performer on the LPGA Tour and is definitely a player to watch in future events.

With this historic win, Green solidifies her position as one of the top players on the LPGA Tour and sets the stage for an exciting season ahead.
