World number seven Hannah Green became the first Australian women’s golfer to win three successive international tournaments when she claimed victory at the Australian WPGA Championship on Sunday.

The 29-year-old went into the Ladies European Tour (LET) event after back-to-back victories at the Australian Open and the LPGA’s Women’s World Championship in Singapore.

Green carded a two-under-par final round of 69 to finish on 16 under – four shots clear of the field at the Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club on the Gold Coast.

Green, whose only major title came at the Women’s PGA Championship in 2019, started the day two shots clear and finished ahead of Germany’s Alexandra Forsterling (68) and South African Casandra Alexander (71), who were tied for second place on 12 under.
