Hannah Green won the JM Eagle LA Championship for the third time in four years, securing victory in a playoff after a dramatic comeback. Trailing Sei Young Kim by six shots on the back nine, Green surged with four straight birdies to finish at 17-under 271, tying Kim and Jin Hee Im.

In the playoff, Green sealed the win with a 4 meters birdie putt after a precise approach, while Kim narrowly missed her chance. The victory marks Green’s fourth worldwide win of 2026 and her eighth LPGA title.

Kim, who had held a late lead, faltered down the stretch, while Im also contended despite earlier penalties. The result highlights Green’s resilience ahead of the upcoming Chevron Championship, the season’s first major.
