Another week, another first time major golf winner. This time, the ladies. Hannah Green leaped from obscurity to snap the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. The most surprising thing was how close the more experienced and close to the lead competition was, that the 22 year-old Green fended off wire to wire. Shooting a steady 68-69-70-72 to win by one stroke (despite hard charges from Sung Hyun Park and Mel Reid who shot 66 and 68 respectively in the last round). The Australian Green won by one stroke. Mainly by posting a Top 2 score each day the first two days. Is this her first big splash on the scene of a long career or an alignment of stars never to be replicated? We'll see over the next couple of decades. But Green is the Longhorndave Sportswoman of the Week!
