Hannah Green will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Women’s Australian Open as she looks to close out a historic victory on home soil.

The seven-time LPGA winner carded a third round 68 (-4) to leapfrog overnight leader Celine Herbin and sit in pole position heading into Sunday. She leads Argentina’s Magdalena Simmermacher by one shot with Casandra Alexander and Karis Davidson four shots adrift in T3.

Having won on the LPGA in Singapore two weeks ago, Green is aiming to close out the job on Sunday and become her nation’s first winner of the Women’s Australian Open since Karrie Webb in 2014.

Making the most of moving day was fellow Olympian Simmermacher. Teeing up as an invite this week, the Argentinian posted a memorable 67 (-5), which included the shot of the day at the par-4 17th as she almost holed out with a 7-iron.
