Hannah Green is counting her lucky stars after making a brilliant - and drama-free start - to the LPGA Tour's weather-hit Maybank Championship in Malaysia.
Green stole Grace Kim's thunder as the Australian duo finished right in the mix after the opening round of the inaugural $US3 million event at the Kuala Lumpur Country Club.
Green birdied the last two holes in carding a sizzling eight-under-par 64 to sit solo second, a shot behind first-round clubhouse leader Jasmine Suwannapura, before more than a third of the field were caught up in a near-four-hour delay.
