The rowdy patrons on the par-3 16th at the WM Phoenix Open aren’t the only people partying on a golf course this week.
When Hannah Green won the Vic Open on Sunday at Beach Golf Links in Barwon Heads, Australia, the Aussie celebrated the one way she knew how: with a celebratory shoey. Green earned the six-shot victory thanks to a 1-under 71 in the final round aided by three birdies over her final seven holes.
“The Vic Open was my first ever professional event so it definitely has special memories for me coming here; some pretty random memories, but good memories,” said Green. “This is just a steppingstone and will give me some positive vibes.”
“It’s nice to finally have my name on a proper trophy over here,” said Green of her first professional win on home soil.
A two-time LPGA winner, Green’s first victory on tour was a major title at the 2019 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She earned her second LPGA win a few months later at the Cambia Portland Classic.
