Green entered the final round with a one stroke lead, playing alongside New Zealander Lydia Ko – who finished in a tie for third – but a second straight one-over round of 72 relegated the world number 19 into a share of fifth at seven-under par – three shots behind American winner Marina Alex.

From the outset Green had her work cut out for her courtesy of bogeys at the second and third. She fought back immediately after however with a birdie at the fourth and another at the seventh to return to her starting point.

A bogey at the eighth was an unfortunate setback, but she hung in to remain in contention with a birdie at the par-3 12^th until the fatal moment arrived at the 17^th.

Two shots behind Alex with two holes to play, Green had no choice but to attack the right pin. Unfortunately, the aggressive play did not pay off as her tee shot found the rough short of the green and she scrambled for bogey. She will now head home to Australia for a break with family and friends.

Minjee Lee began the final round among the contenders, but the world number four finished tied for 13^th at five-under after she was unable to recapture the magic from her eight-under opening round of 63.

The biggest Australian result of week was Harrison Endycott’s triumph at the Korn Ferry Tour’s Huntsville Championship in Alabama and you can read the full story on his victory here.

At the Ladies European Tour’s Women’s NSW Open at Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf Club, rookie professional Cassie Porter impressed by coming in a tie for fourth, while 15-year-old amateur Sarah Hammett made it back-to-back top-ten finishes during the LET’s two-week Australian swing with a tied eighth finish. Australia’s highest ranked amateur, Kirsten Rudgeley, also cracked the top-ten.

In Texas, New Zealander Steven Alker took out the Champions Tour’s Insperity Invitational by a commanding four strokes, while Robyn Choi cracked the top-ten at the Epson Tour’s Garden City Classic at Buffalo Dunes with Karis Davidson and Julienne Soo in the top-15.

Jason Scrivener followed up his big week at the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic with Jason Day by finishing top-20 on the DP World Tour in Spain, and Andrew Evans was the lone Australian in the top-20 on the Japan Golf Tour.
