It’s one thing to look up to a sporting icon. It’s another to be invited along for an up-close-and-personal look at what it takes to win at the highest level. That’s what Karrie Webb offered Hannah Green through her namesake scholarship.

Green went from Webb’s houseguest at the 2015 U.S. Women’s Open (the first professional event Green ever attended) to major winner in relatively short order. No one at Hazeltine was prouder than Webb, who drenched Green in a shower of beer on the 18th green at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
