How a poem boosted Green to capture first major at Women's PGA

CHASKA, Minn. – Hannah Green was making her way to the 8th tee Sunday at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship when a little girl held out a blue piece of paper for her.

Lily Kostner, a 7-year-old from Minneapolis, told Green she was going to win as she stretched the paper across the gallery ropes.

It was a poem Lily wrote as gratitude for the kindness Green showed her back at the ANA Inspiration in April, when Lily was in the gallery with her parents watching the year’s first major.

Green signed and gave Lily a golf ball.
