Aussie golf aces in $18 million hunt for major glory

The ninth-ranked Lee and world No.8 Hannah Green, the 2019 winner at the famed Hazeltine National Golf Club hosting the fourth major of the year, will spearhead a seven-strong Australian challenge in Minnesota.

Officials have again increased the total purse to an eye-popping $US13 million ($A18.11 million), with the winner alone to bank a cheque for $US1.95 million ($A2.82 million).
