In one of world golf’s most picturesque settings, Wade Ormsby and Lucas Herbert took different routes to strong top 10 finishes on the European Tour over the weekend. Karis Davidson returned to form in Japan with a top 10 of her own, while Daniel Fox and Jarryd Felton led the way on the Asian Tour in Indonesia. But not for the first time in 2019, Hannah Green drew all eyes to the US.
After an historic opening 36 holes in Portland, Green started the final round of the Cambia Portland Classic three back of 18-year-old Monday qualifier Yealimi Noh and the margin was exactly that with four holes to play. But from that point on Green was exceptional, making clutch birdies at 15 and 17 before coolly slotting an eight-footer for par on 18 to seal a one-shot win. The title is Green’s second on the LPGA Tour in 2019 and fifth as a professional.
Here is the recap from this past week’s action and the Australians’ performances.
