LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hannah Green won the JM Eagle LA Championship on Sunday 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 after a back-nine comeback.<\/p>\n

Six strokes behind playing partner Sei Young Kim for a few moments on the 11th green, Green closed with a 4-under 68 to match Kim (70) and Jin Hee Im (67) at 17-under 271 on the tree-lined layout.<\/p>\n

In the playoff on the par-4 18th, Green hit a wedge from 130 yards and curled in the right-to-left breaking putt after Kim — eight strokes ahead with five holes to go Saturday in the third round — left a 35-foot birdie try short.<\/p>\n

“I had that putt, obviously very similar line in regulation, so I felt somewhat comfortable,” Green said. “It still was a tough putt, so really glad it went in the hole.”<\/p>\n

Im — penalized a stroke for slow play Saturday — reached the green in three after hitting her drive to the right.<\/p>\n

Green also won the event in 2023 and 2024 at Wilshire Country Club. The 29-year-old Australian player joined Hyo Joo Kim as the only two-time winners this season on the LPGA Tour and ran her worldwide 2026 victory total to four.<\/p>\n

Green has eight career LPGA Tour victories. She won the tour’s HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore early last month and also took the Women’s Australian Open and Australian WPGA.<\/p>\n

Sei Young Kim took a two-stroke lead into the round and had a three-shot edge on the back nine.<\/p>\n

“Just little disappointed because I had a good chance for the win,” she said. “Yeah, but she’s play well. Strong finish back nine.<\/p>\n

The tournament was played at El Caballero for the second straight year because of course renovations at Wilshire. <\/p>\n

After Sei Young Kim chipped in for eagle on the 11th to leave Green six shots back, Green followed with a birdie on the hole to get a shot back.<\/p>\n

“I honestly didn’t think I was in the tournament still,” Green said. “I was just like, `Oh, well just go for as many pins as possible.′”<\/p>\n

She birdied Nos. 13-16 — missing a 5-foot eagle putt on 16 — and pulled even with Sei Young Kim and Im — who made a 60-footer for eagle on 16 — when Sei Young Kim bogeyed the par-3 17th. <\/p>\n

“Got on a nice stretch there,” Green said. “I kind of thought the putt that I missed on 16 was the crucial moment. I mean, I’m just fortunate enough that I at least got into the playoff.”<\/p>\n

The Chevron Championship, the first women’s major of the year, will start Thursday in Houston.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be really hard to come back down to earth next week, so it’s going to be my next challenge,” Green said. “I’m going to be on a flight tonight to Houston, so I don’t know if I’m getting much rest.”<\/p>\n

Ina Yoon was a stroke out of the playoff after a 69. She eagled the 16th, birdied the 17th and nearly holed a 30-foot birdie try on 18,<\/p>\n

Former UCLA star Patty Tavatanakit (70) was 14 under with Haeran Ryu (66). First-round leader Chizzy Iwai (70) was 12 under with Minami Katsu (68).<\/p>\n

Amateur Asterisk Talley tied for 13th at 9 under after a 70. The 17-year-old Talley played her first event since losing the lead on the back nine in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. <\/p>\n

“It’s great just to get to play with the pros and get some learning experience,” said Talley, also in the field for The Chevron.<\/p>\n
