If Australian star Hannah Green hadn't been overshadowed by world No.1 Nelly Korda's six-victory run in 2024, she would be a top pick for the US Open. Green, now ranked world No.5, is heading into the major championship with confidence after two wins this year. The record prize money of $18m and $3.6m for the winner serve as great motivators. However, after a close encounter with Korda in the last LPGA event where Green narrowly lost, she is wary of the threat Korda poses at the Lancaster Country Club. Questions from other players about Korda abound, with Green acknowledging her rival's recent dominance.
