Australian Golf Power Rankings November 4

A 20-foot bomb on the first playoff hole from Japanese rookie Miyu Yamashita was all that stood between Green and a seventh LPGA Tour win at the Maybank Championship.

It adds to her top-five finish as defending champion at the BMW Ladies Championship and win as part of Team Australia at the Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown.

So much for the slump that had seen the 28-year-old miss five cuts in her previous six starts.

Grace Kim also piggy-backed off the team win to be tied 16th in Malaysia and Travis Smyth was among just a handful of Aussies to play all four rounds at the Link Hong Kong Open.

Without full status at the start of the 2025 LPGA Tour season, Choi’s eight top-25 finishes have ensured she will start 2026 as a full member. Has two starts left to move up from her current position of 62nd and into the top 60 who will qualify for the CME Group Tour Championship.

9. Min Woo Lee (9)
Top 11 in three of his past four starts across both the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR. Earned maiden PGA TOUR win at the Texas Children’s Houston Open.

6. Travis Smyth (5)

5. Austin Bautista (3)

4. Hannah Green (New)
In a year in which Australia’s women have led the way, Green has begun to again show the type of form that made her a top-five player in the world in 2024. Made birdie at the 72nd hole to make the playoff at the Maybank Championship only to lose out to a Miyu Yamashita birdie at the first extra hole.

3. Marc Leishman (4)

2. Grace Kim (2)
The Amundi Evian Championship winner earned her fourth top-20 finish of the season with a tie for 16th at the Maybank Championship. Played a crucial role in Australia’s victory at the International Crown in Korea.
