Hannah Green's late birdie propels her to win at BMW Championship

Australian Hannah Green carded a crucial birdie at the 17th and finished with a 71, good enough to hold off a pair of hard-charging competitors to capture the BMW Ladies Championship in a wire-to-wire win in windy Paju, South Korea.

She entered the final round at Seowon Hills course at Seowon Valley Country Club at 18-under par and with a two-stroke lead but was tied with Thailand's Chanettee Wannasaen as she made the turn onto the back nine.

A par on the 18 gave Green her sixth career win and left Boutier in second place and Wannasaen in third.

"Yeah, it was a crazy finish, I guess," Green said. "My caddie said to me at the start of the day, 'Let's try and get a lead and have a bit of a cushion coming in.' I did not do that and made it very interesting. But the putt on17, I was very nervous. I was
