Fresh off a two-week break at home and with four wins to her name already this season, West Australian Hannah Green will lead the Aussie charge in the US state where she has enjoyed most success.

A three-time winner of the JM Eagle LA Championship – including the 2026 edition in May – Green enters the week as the No.5 player in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking and seeking to add to her 2019 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship triumph.

Major winners in 2025, Minjee Lee and Grace Kim also boast impressive championship pedigree while Sydney’s Stephanie Kyriacou lines up for her third US Women’s Open appearance.

Gold Coast pair Karis Davidson and Sarah Hammett will each make their US Women’s Open debuts having come through local qualifying.

Davidson was granted the final spot in the 156-player field, having finished as first alternate at the qualifying event in Seattle, while Hammett, a 19-year-old amateur, played her way into her first LPGA major by finishing as medallist at qualifying in Arizona.

Remarkably, four of the six Aussies in the field are staying together this week, Green, Kim, Kyriacou and Davidson all bunking in together while chasing major championship glory.

“Hopefully we’ll actually see one another,” said Green.

“Sometimes during major weeks, you barely see one another just because everyone’s got different routines or schedules for the day.”

Admitting that maintaining the standard she has set for the first five months of the year will be a challenge, Green was buoyed by a tie for seventh at the Chevron Championship, her first top 10 in a major for almost four years.

“I am a top six player in the world. I want to win major championships,” said the 29-year-old.

“I want to have more tournaments on my belt, but sometimes when you play well, it doesn’t mean you have the trophy in your hands at the end of the week.

“Just limiting my expectation, just making sure that I’m not too ahead of myself and just hopefully hitting the ball where I want it to go.”

Host to the men’s US Open in 1948 when Ben Hogan was victorious, Riviera Country Club has been a happy hunting ground for Australians.

It was the site of Steve Elkington’s 1995 US PGA Championship victory, while Adam Scott, Robert Allenby and Aaron Baddeley have each won PGA TOUR events at Riviera.

All four rounds of the US Women’s Open will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 505 and Kayo Sports, with Round 1 coverage beginning at 4 am AEST on Friday.
