As the tournament progressed, Green’s lead ebbed and flowed, with a host of challengers nipping at her heels. Yet, in the face of mounting pressure, the young Australian remained unflappable, displaying a level of composure that belied her years. With each passing hole, her confidence grew, her shots becoming more audacious, her putts more assured.
“I just tried to stay focused on my own game, one shot at a time,” Green reflected in a post-round interview. “I knew the competition was fierce, but I trusted my abilities and my preparation.”
