Tournaments both have won previously have come at an opportune time for Australian major winners Hannah Green and Jason Day. A three-time winner on the LPGA Tour last year rising to a career high of No.5 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking, Green has endured a year of frustration on the golf course. Three top-10 finishes in her first five starts was an encouraging platform to build season 2025 upon yet her past seven starts have yielded a solitary top-30 finish along with three missed cuts. Which is why The Standard Portland Classic will again be a welcome stop on the schedule. Fresh off her major championship breakthrough, Green won the 2019 Portland Classic at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, starting a love affair with Portland that continues to this day. A regular visitor to the Australian-style Proud Mary café during tournament week, Green can also call upon her performance in 2022 when she finished tied for third. It’s been a decade since his victory and the venue is different but Jason Day could also tap into some former glory at the BMW Championship in Maryland. The second week of the FedExCup Playoffs on the PGA TOUR features just the sole Australian alongside Kiwi Ryan Fox. Day’s triumph at the 2015 BMW Championship was part of his extraordinary run that included the US PGA Championship on his rise to world No.1.After starting this year’s FedExCup Playoffs in 37th position, Day’s tie for 56th last week saw him drop seven spots and now in need of a top 20 finish to advance to the Tour Championship. A two-time winner in what has been a breakout season for New Zealand’s No.1, Fox arrives at the 50-man BMW Championship field in 34th position and needing to finish inside the top 30 to make it to East Lake Golf Club. Six Aussies and Kiwi Kazuma Kobori are teeing it up at the Danish Golf Championship on the DP World Tour, Ripper GC are in Indianapolis for the penultimate event of the LIV Golf season and there are nine Australians in the field for the Rogers Charity Classic on the PGA TOUR Champions.
