(Reuters) - Four years ago Hannah Green was attending the U.S. Women's Open as part of her reward for winning a Karrie Webb scholarship. On Sunday, she followed in Webb's footsteps by winning the Women's PGA Championship, becoming the third Australian to win a major.
Webb, who won the event in 2001, has been sponsoring Australia's top female amateurs with $10,000 scholarships since 2008, bringing them on visits to the United States to get a taste of major championships.
