'So happy': Minjee leads Australia to world golf glory

Minjee Lee Grace Kim United States Golf LPGA Steph Kyriacou Australia Hannah Green Lydia Ko Nelly Korda

Australia's never-say-die golf aces have completed an epic week of improbable comeback wins with a stylish victory over the top-ranked USA in the final of LPGA Tour's biennial showpiece teams event in South Korea.

Led by the magnificent Minjee Lee and steely Steph Kyriacou, who both finished unbeaten in five thrilling match-play encounters, Australia captured the unofficial "World Cup" of women's golf after a day of high drama in Seoul on Sunday.

Fittingly, world No.3 Lee put Australia 1-0 in front with a 2 & 1 triumph over Angel Yin in the opening singles match of the final before fellow heavyweight and Perth stablemate Hannah Green clinched the tie with another 2 & 1 victory over Yealimi Noh.
