Hannah Green made an incredible 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the 2024 HSBC Women’s World Championship, beating Celine Boutier by a stroke margin on Sunday.
Boutier had shot 5-under 67 in the final round of the HSBC Women's World Championship, and it seemed we were heading for a playoff finish as Green was at 12-under with just one hole to go. However, her third straight birdie on the 18th ensured the result would be finalized within the regulation holes.
Speaking at the winner's press conference of the HSBC Women's World Championship, Green reflected on the three back-to-back birdies. She said:
"I didn't hole many putts from long range today until obviously the last couple holes. But I made a really good birdie on 16 and was able to 2-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."
The purse size of the 2024 HSBC Women’s World Championship was $1.8 million, and Green bagged the winner's share of $270,000. The HSBC Women’s World Championship is Green's first win since the 2023 JM Eagle LA Championship and overall fourth on the LPGA Tour.
