Australian Hannah Green is ready to look past the disappointment of a missed cut at a major to defend her crown at the JM Eagle LA Championship, and she has history on her side.

The 27-year-old missed the cut at last week’s Chevron Championship in Texas, pointing to her disastrous start on Thursday for putting her back against the wall.

Yet if she was concerned that it will hamper her return to Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles, Green needs only look back 12 months to find a formula that proved fruitful.

“Last year I also missed the cut at Chevron and came into the week and obviously won,” Green recalled.

“I am pretty good at taking results from the previous week and putting them aside, but it's maybe a little bit more pressure now that I've actually won here.

“I'm looking forward to the challenge. It helps that I like the golf course. I wish that I could say that about every course we played and had the same feeling.

“It's kind of the same when we go to Portland. I won there and had some good results and I get the same type of feelings.

“Even just playing the back nine kind of remembering the putts that I holed, I kind of recreated the putt that I holed on 18 in regulation. Just things like that really make it helpful and give me more confidence.

“I don't want to get too ahead of myself. I still need to make sure I play four solid days of good golf.”

Adding to her comfort on the golf course is the feeling of home Green is able to tap into in LA.

She has been staying with the same host family since her rookie year in 2018 and has her favourite haunts that offer a taste of home.

“The food is big here,” said Green.

“Great White is like an Australian cafe that is just across the street, so I've been there when I have a later tee time and have breakfast over there.

“Even just like the restaurants, obviously Koreatown is right down the street too, so I've had some food there.

“It's nice to be able to switch off properly.”

On the Epson Tour this week Cassie Porter and Su Oh are joined by Kiwis Amelia Garvey and Fiona Xu at the IOA Championship while Momoka Kobori is the lone Australasian in the field for the Investec South African Women’s Open in Cape Town.
