Facing what she hoped would be her final putt at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Hannah Green nervously took her position, all that stood between her and her first LPGA Championship was five feet.<\/p>\n

As Hannah Green<\/a> watched in anticipation, her putt was on point, and with it, the chance to lay claim to victory and the pleasure in knowing that her efforts paid off, not just personally, but also as a thank you for the efforts of Karrie Webb, a seven-time major champion and member of the Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Webb was one of those responsible for starting a scholarship program in Minnesota for young Australian amateurs so that they could experience and learn from being on hand during a major event. One of those that participated in the scholarship program was Hannah Green, and now, she is a champion.<\/p>\n

Green, who is ranked 29th in the LPGA has had four top ten finishes, held her own straight through to the end. She hit a 16th hole birdie before dropping the ball into the bunker on the 18th, but it was enough to finish one stroke ahead of Sung Hyun Park, the defending champion. Green, who is playing in her second year on the tour stated,<\/p>\n

“I can’t believe I’m in this position right now. I’ve always wanted to win an event, and to win a major championship as my first is crazy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
