SINGAPORE — Ryu Hae-ran, 25, who has shown impressive momentum since the start of the 2026 LPGA Tour season, finished sixth at the HSBC Women's World Championship, the third tournament of the season with a total purse of $3 million.
In the final fourth round held at Sentosa Golf Club (par 72) in Singapore on Saturday, Ryu carded an even-par 72 with four birdies and four bogeys. With a tournament total of 10-under-par 278, Ryu finished in solo sixth place. This marks her third consecutive top-10 finish in all three tournaments she has entered this season. She tied for ninth at the season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and tied for 10th at the preceding Honda Thailand.
Ryu entered the final round tied for third, just one stroke off the lead, aiming for a come-from-behind victory. However, she lost strokes early in the round, recording back-to-back bogeys on the second hole (par 4) and third hole (par 4). She recovered with consecutive birdies on the seventh hole (par 3) and eighth hole (par 5), but bogeyed again on the ninth hole (par 4). On the back nine, she dropped another stroke on the 13th hole (par 5) but closed with birdies on the 16th hole (par 5) and the final 18th hole (par 4) to secure solo sixth.
Hannah Green of Australia claimed victory with a tournament total of 14-under-par 274. Green, the 2024 champion of this event, captured her seventh career win, approximately one year and five months after her victory at the BMW Ladies Championship in October 2024. The winner's prize was $450,000 (approximately 640 million won).
LPGA Tour rookie Hwang Yu-min, who debuted this year, tied for 18th at 5-under-par. Kim Hyo-joo, Choi Hye-jin, and Kim Sei-young tied for 21st at 4-under-par. Yun I-na tied for 41st at even-par, while Ko Jin-young tied for 47th at 1-over-par. The tournament, featuring 72 players, had no cut.
