Golf-Australia's Green wins World Championship title with strong finish

It was the 27-year-old's fourth victory on the LPGA tour and first since the JM Eagle LA Championship last year, earning her a cool $270,000 - the winner's share of the $1.8 million event at Singapore's Sentosa Golf Club. Green, who started the day in second place behind Japan's Ayaka Furue, endured a blip with bogey on the par-four 10th hole but the Perth resident turned up the heat from there with some excellent putting for three straight birdies at the end.
