LPGA Tour Golf

Hannah Green won the JM Eagle LA Championship for the third time in first four years and the first at El Caballero, holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole. Briefly six strokes behind Sei Young Kim on No. 11, Green closed with a 4-under 68 to match Kim and Jin Hee Im at 17-under 271. In the playoff, Green made the right-to-left breaking putt after Kim — eight strokes ahead with five holes to go in the third round — left a 35-foot birdie try short. Green also won the event in 2023 and 2024 at Wilshire Country Club. She joined Hyo Joo Kim as the only two-time winners this season on the LPGA with her fourth worldwide victory of the year.
