The first time Green played the HSBC in 2021, she found herself in contention before three-putting the last two holes.

The story couldn’t have been more different this time around, with Green holing crucial putts down the stretch, including a 27-footer on the last to nip Boutier by a stroke.

“I didn’t hole many putts from long range today until obviously the last couple holes,” said Green, “but I made a really good birdie on 16 and was able to two-putt there. Kind of gave the first putt a little too much and then made a 5-footer for birdie. That was nice.”

“I could then see the leaderboard on 17, and made a putt there. I knew I needed to at least birdie the last to win by one. So as soon as that putt went in, I was like, oh, my God, I’ve won. I felt bad for the girls that had to putt after that, but yeah, it just all went really, really quickly.”
