Dan Hillier Delivers 🇳🇿 | Hannah Green Wins #7 | Inside Royal Auckland w/ James Betts

Q and Brad are back with a massive week across Australasia and beyond. We kick off at Millbrook where Dan Hillier becomes the first Kiwi to win the NZ PGA since 2017 — a huge moment for New Zealand golf. Two of the best players in the field going head-to-head down the stretch, unreal visuals, and another step forward for one of the region’s premier events. From there, we head to Wollongong for the NSW Women’s Open. Agathe Laisne fires a closing 65 to get it done, while young Aussies Amelia Harris and Hannah Reeves continue to show the depth coming through the women’s ranks. Then — Hannah Green wins again. LPGA title number seven. Calm, clinical and clutch. We discuss what level she’s operating at right now and what this means heading into a massive 2026 and the Australian swing.
