Aussie golf ace revises goals after Singapore salute

Australia's Hannah Green has made a hasty revision of her goals after winning her seventh LPGA Tour title.
Green's world ranking has taken a massive jump following her triumph at the Women's World Championship in Singapore last weekend.
The West Australian teed off ranked 20th, but is now perched at world No.9.
"I didn't expect my world ranking to go as high as it did," Green told reporters on Wednesday.
"I have jumped back into the top 10 and that's kind of the goal of mine for the end of the year.
"Now, perhaps chasing to get back into the top five, top six, in the world is probably something that I will look at."
The 29-year-old, whose career-high world ranking is fifth, has returned home ahead of the looming Women's Australian Open in Adelaide from March 12-14 and the Women's PGA on the Gold Coast from March 19-22.
And Green expected her salute in Singapore to further boost attention on her as a drawcard at the Australian tournaments.
"I feel like there might be some more eyes on me now, maybe some more external pressure," she said.
"But they are both events that I want to take as seriously as I would any other event ... I definitely am going to hope to win both of those events.
"Again, not put too much pressure on myself, but perhaps a different goal overall for the 2026 season."
Green's most recent triumph was her second win at the Women's World Championship in Singapore, following her 2024 win.
"A really cool way to start the year and lead myself into the Australian Open and WPGA," she said.
"It kind of came as a surprise but also I am not surprised because it is a venue that I like.
"I played in Thailand the week before and had a top-10 finish and felt like I played pretty consistent over the four days."
The Singapore title also relieved pressure on Green ahead of her return to the United States in early April.
"Having a win so early in the season definitely makes it a little less stressful," she said.
"Missing the first three US events, to be able to not feel like I am behind the eight ball when I get to Vegas for my first event in the US (in April).
"Just little things like that will make a big difference and being able to plan around the majors so that I can perform my best in those."
