Last week’s winner, Angel Yin, is unfortunately sitting out after round 2 due to illness, but don’t worry—the excitement is still off the charts! Defending champion Hannah Green is back in action, ready to take on some of the biggest names in golf.
Who can win the HSBC Women’s World Championship this year?
With three rounds down at the HSBC Women’s World Championship, things are getting intense at Sentosa Golf Club! Lydia Ko is leading the charge at 10-under, after an impressive 4-under 69 in the third round. But she’s got Charley Hull right on her heels at 9-under, thanks to a flawless, bogey-free 68.
Jeeno Thitikul isn’t far behind either, sitting at 7-under after sinking seven birdies in her latest round. And let’s not forget Minjee Lee, who also fired a 4-under 68, finishing the day in a three-way tie alongside Pajaree Anannarukarn and A Lim Kim at 6-under. Meanwhile, defending champion Hannah Green is tied for seventh at 5-under, aiming to climb the leaderboard in the final round.
But they’re not the only ones on the hunt. Jin Young Ko, who won this event in 2022 and 2023, is looking to add a third title, while Hyo Joo Kim (2021 champion) and Sun Hyun Park (2019 winner) are also in the mix.
With so much talent on the course, it’s anyone’s game. Who’s your pick to take the title this week?
