Australia’s Hannah Green won the LPGA’s Women’s World Championship in Singapore after her husband stepped in as her caddie.

With Green’s usual caddie unable to leave the USA while he applies for a green card, her husband Jarryd Felton – who is a professional golfer – filled the role for the second time this year.

Green, 29, carded a three-under-par 69 on Sunday to finish one shot clear of American Auston Kim and win this title for a second time.

She married Felton in 2024 and has also caddied for her husband in the past.

“It was absolutely a team effort over the last two weeks, and it’s very special to share my seventh win, which is also my favourite number, with him,” said Green.

“My usual caddie is applying for a green card and couldn’t leave the US, so it wasn’t part of the plan for the season. Luckily, my husband was able to pick up the bag for me.”

Green started the day tied for the lead with three-time major champion Minjee Lee, but took control with an early birdie followed by an eagle on the eighth hole.

Green sank three more birdies on the final nine, and – despite a nervous finish after bogeying her final two holes – ended on 14 under overall to win this tournament for the second time in three years, having triumphed in 2024.

“I was feeling nervous and told Jarryd a couple of times that I wasn’t comfortable. He reminded me to take a deep breath, have a snack or even sip some water,” she said.

“I haven’t played with this kind of adrenaline in a long time, and we handled it really well.”

England’s Charley Hull, Mimi Rhodes and Lottie Woad all finished in a tie for 10th on six under.
