Hannah Green Secures Back-to-Back Victory at JM Eagle LA Championship
Hannah Green showcased her exceptional skills once again as she clinched the LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship for the second consecutive year on Sunday. The Australian golfer delivered a stellar performance at the challenging Wilshire Country Club, holing out twice from off the greens during a crucial back-nine stretch.
Green, who previously won the tournament in dramatic fashion with a playoff victory, managed to secure a more comfortable win this time around with the help of Maja Stark. The 27-year-old golfer closed out the event with a five-under 66, finishing three strokes ahead of Stark and claiming her fifth LPGA Tour victory.
Reflecting on her triumph, Green expressed her nerves leading up to the final hole and the satisfaction of securing a lead earlier in the round. She credited the course for being kind to her and highlighted key moments, including a chip-in birdie on the 12th hole and an eagle on the 15th that sealed her victory.
Stark, who put up a strong fight throughout the tournament, finished in second place with a solid performance. The Swede rebounded from a bogey on the 16th hole to birdie the final two holes, showcasing her resilience and skill on the course.
With top-ranked players like Haeran Ryu and Jin Young Ko also delivering impressive performances, the JM Eagle LA Championship proved to be a thrilling event for golf fans. Despite the absence of Nelly Korda, who withdrew from the tournament, the competition remained fierce until the very end.
As Green celebrates her well-deserved victory, fans can look forward to more exciting golf action in the upcoming tournaments on the LPGA Tour. Stay tuned for more updates and highlights as the season progresses.
