She was one of three players to shoot in the 60s for each round of the HUGEL-Air Premia LA Open and a 5-under par 66 on Saturday at Wilshire Country Club propelled Hannah Green into a share for third.
The performance makes it 12 consecutive under-par rounds for the major champion. She finished at -14 for the week in Hancock Park.
“It has been really nice that everything kind of pieced together this week,” said Green, who has earned three straight top-15 finishes. “Putting has been key for me, but also hitting greens in regulation. I added some distance and hit it a little bit longer. Now that I have shorter shots in, I expect my greens in reg will go up. That was another key for me, making sure I missed in the right areas and hitting lots of greens.”
Green will now head to Singapore and Thailand for the HSBC Women’s World Championship and Honda LPGA Thailand. It will be her first trip to both countries, and she has only one thing on her mind.
“I feel like I’m pretty close. My caddie [Nate Blasko] and I have been talking about it, and we feel like we are not far off a win,” Green said. “I’m excited to get over there and see what can happen. I am really keen about seeing a new golf course. A fresh course to me might actually help me a little bit.”
