SINGAPORE (AP) — Hannah Green, the 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner, navigated an erratic back nine with three birdies and three bogeys to secure the victory. She tapped in for bogey on the last hole, preserving her slim lead after also winning the event in Singapore in 2024. The 72-player, no-cut tournament marked the second stop on the LPGA’s early-year Asian swing, with the next event set for Hainan Island, China. Kim mounted a strong charge with six birdies and an eagle but was derailed by bogeys on the second hole and the par-3 15th. Minjee Lee, who shared the lead entering the final round, carded an even-par 72 and tied for third at 11-under 277 alongside Angel Yin and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard. Top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul shot 73 to finish at 2-under 287, tied for 31st, one stroke behind defending champion Lydia Ko.
