SINGAPORE – On a sweltering afternoon at the Sentosa Golf Club, home of the Tanjong Course which demands both patience and precision, Hannah Green looked every bit like a former champion plotting another charge.

The 2024 HSBC Women’s World Championship winner showed her prowess on the course by shooting a four-under 68 in the third round on Feb 28, lifting her to 11-under 205 for a share of the lead alongside Minjee Lee (69).

The Australian duo now hold a one-stroke advantage over Angel Yin (68) and Ryu Hae-ran (70) heading into the final day of the US$3 million (S$3.8 million) event, with 10 others within five strokes.

As world No. 20 Green chases a second trophy here, she has added a personal touch to her set-up with her husband Jarryd Felton, also a professional golfer, taking over caddie duties from her regular looper Dave Buhai.

Felton also caddied for Green at last week’s Honda LPGA Thailand, where she placed seventh, and the partnership has continued to click in Singapore.

“Staying patient is probably the hardest thing when you’re out here, when unfortunately you hit shots and perhaps are not making putts or things like that,” said Green, who also caddied for Felton during the off-season.
