Australian Hannah Green wins HSBC Women’s World Championship by a stroke Hannah Green wins the HSBC Women’s World Championship for a second time, and she holds off a late charge from Auston Kim for a one-shot victory By The Associated Press March 1, 2026, 2:47 AM SINGAPORE -- Australian Hannah Green has won the HSBC Women’s World Championship for a second time, holding off a fast-finishing American Auston Kim to claim a one-stroke victory on Sunday. Green, the 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner , closed with a 69, after an erratic back-nine with three birdies and three bogeys nearly opened the door for Kim. Green tapped in for bogey at the last and a 14-under four-round total of 274 at the par-72 Sentosa Golf Club and give her another title in Singapore after also winning here in 2024. Kim had the equal-best round of the day with a 67 on the back off six birdies and an eagle, but bogeys at the second and especially at the par-3 15th ended her charge at 13-under 275, and one shot behind a faltering Green. Minjee Lee, who had been co-leader with Green coming into Sunday's final round, mixed three birdies with three bogeys for a frustrating even final round 72 and was tied for third with Angel Yin (71) and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) of France at 11-under 277.
