How can you not be happy for Hannah?

There is nothing special about how Hannah Green was introduced to the sport that would change her life.

She would follow her father, Tau, around the Hillview golf course on the outskirts of Perth and later a few junior clinics, Hannah was a golfer.

She met girls her age playing at Hartfield Golf Club before recording a membership on Mount Lawley.

"We wanted to do something as family and father and I had to play while my mother would be a caddy for me," Green told WA in 2017.

& # 39; She used to do the notes and things. It was a good way for us to spend time together, because she is not really a sporty person so I thought it was pretty cool. "

There are a number of women on Mount Lawley who deserve to be honored for the week at Hazeltine who has changed the life of Hannah Green

Sue Thomson, Shirley Reynolds and Shonna Gobby are at the top of the list.

But the young women Hannah grew up with on the golf course – some of whom may not have picked up a club since then – might as well be responsible for the result at KPMG Women's & PGA Championship 2019 as everyone else.

"In the beginning I remember feeling a bit uncomfortable and worrying about how I was playing. To be honest, I may have even stopped playing at that stage," says Green.

"The key played with girls my age on Mount Lawley because they were not only as good as me, but also more fun.

"After a while we got to know each other and we just talked while we were walking around while exercising."

The first of the many starts in the West Australian state team came shortly thereafter, and once she overcame the pressure to play him alongside Minjee Lee and the Victorian star Su Oh, Hannah began to feel at home.

She worked with coach Ritchie Smith – who also takes care of the star WA duo Minjee and Min Woo Lee – and is a first trip to the US as a teenager when Hannah realized that her future would be linked to golf.

The first time Hannah walked through the gates during a professional golf tournament was the 2015 US Women & Open, after winning the Karrie Webb Series Scholarship and a week against the Australian G.O.A.T. shadowed.

Karrie Webb will influence every Australian female pro for generations, and Hannah is no different.

"This is one of the best days I've had on a golf course in a long time," an emotional Karrie Webb told media in Hazeltine.

"I'm starting to suffocate about how proud I was of her. So proud of her.

"I just said that I felt like I had won. I feel like I have won a golf tournament today. I am so excited for her."

That week in 2015, Hannah remembers Kiwi Lydia Ko as she hugged an amateur with a star eye and asked her what she was like. Barely a year later, at the age of 19, Hannah became a professional, so her attack began at the top of the women's game.

After reaching the qualifying school of the Symetra Tour just before her twentieth birthday, Hannah's rookie season had to be seen on the secondary circuit of the LPGA Tour to be believed.

She won three times on her way to second place on the money list, scored 12 top 10 & # 39; s and defeated the Rookie of the Year awards

.

Every year, countless golfers realize that they do not belong on a tour in the US. Few learn freely as Hannah did.

If she had the chance to win the Women & # 39; s Australian Open in 2017, she would have had the misfortune to miss twelve months later.

Hannah ran into a then largely unknown (but now World Number 1) JY Ko, although the West Australian made the Korean work.

An LPGA Tour victory suddenly looked like it would come sooner than later.

Here it is, Australia …

But what's the best thing about Hannah Green?

In the low season in 2017, Hannah returned to Perth and spent more time than needed to bring clinics back to Mount Lawley for young girls who loved golf.

The next media start that she pushes will be the first and she will be the top 5 of the LPGA for the successes achieved: interactions with young fans.

On Sunday at Hazeltine, she even took some time on the 8th tee to read a poem written for her by a young girl

The best thing about Hannah Green is that she is probably a better person than a golfer. And the golfer has just won a big championship.

Former World No. 1 and generation talent Ariya Jutanugarn wilted with Hazeltine while she played alongside Hannah, which is the pressure in a major group on Sunday.

The nerves are kicking with a handful of holes to play and Hannah & # 39; s quirky 4-iron in the 72nd hole can easily come from watching World Nr. 3 Sung Hyun Park makes a birdie at 18 to reduce the backlog to one

But the smile on the face of the twice-important winning Korean said it all while watching Hannah sink the winning pit from the scorer's hut

How could you not be happy with Hannah Green?

The 22-year-old West Australian will rockets to World No. 17 and Hannah can now become a & # 39; millionaire & # 39; to mention. However, she will not do it.

At the moment nothing matters. Australian golf has a third female grand champion alongside Webb and Jan Stephenson and the game couldn't be happier.

It is not a competition but you will not find a beloved great champion in recent years. If the LPGA held a popularity competition at Hazeltine this week, Hannah might have done the same thing with it.

Su Oh won the gold medal in the sprint to hug one of her best friends on tour on the 72nd green and friend Jarryd Felton – a pro golfer himself – was speechless.

The support of young guns Becky Kay and Grace Kim, the winners of this week's Karrie Webb scholarship, were probably worth making three or four shots alone during the four days and we can only hope that Hannah put them on makes an 18th green day difficult

.

"Watching the video in which they come and throw beer over me, I am really broken and I am so happy to have them here this week," Hannah said during her first press conference as a great champion.

"If Karrie ever gives up the scholarship, I'd like to pick it up and keep doing something she does," Green said.

"If I can help in any way, I'd love to do it."

That is the current cycle of the Australian lady wave. Women like Hannah, inspired by heroes like Karrie, give the next generation a flag to shoot at.
