The Australian attended Como Secondary College and played in the academy herself.

5. Green turned professional in 2016 while still a teenager, and currently plays on the LPGA Tour and ALPG Tour.
6. She won the 2019 Women's PGA Championship, her first Major and her first on the LPGA Tour.
Green's only other victory so far on the LPGA Tour came the same year at the Cambia Portland Classic three months after her Major win.

8. While playing on the Symetra Tour in 2017 she won three times.
She finished second on the money list and won the Rookie of the Year in 2017.

She also represented Australia at the Espirito Santo Trophy that same year, before playing for ALPG at The Queens as a professional in 2017.
