History was made on Monday morning and there wasn't a dry eye in the house, as Perth's Hannah Green became the third Australian woman to win a major championship – and didn't she do it in style.
A par up the last and a final round 72 was enough to see 22-year-old Green win the 2019 KPMG Women's PGA Championship by one stroke, sparking unreal celebrations on the 18th green.
Green rockets to 17th in the world and pockets not just roughly $US600,000 in prizemoney – she also wins our prestigious #AussieOfTheWeek crown.
Elsewhere, Jason Day was clinical in notching another top 10 on the PGA Tour, while Rhein Gibson continued his good run of form on the US's secondary circuit with another top 15.
