LANCASTER, Pa. — When you imagine a major champion preparing for a U.S. Women’s Open, you’re probably filling your mind with images of someone on the range all day, hitting hundreds of balls in hopes to be ready for the incredible test that awaits them. What you might not imagine is a player gambling against her husband. But that’s exactly what Hannah Green, the 2019 KPMG Women’s PGA winner, did last week ahead of the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club.
Green’s husband, Jarryd Felton, is also a golfer. And the 27-year-old Australian said they’re always competing. “I think because my husband plays golf, too, we’re very competitive no matter what we’re doing,” Green said, “so it’s kind of fun playing with him.
Beyond the standard putting and chipping contests, the two played a popular golf betting game Wolf. If you want an in depth look at how to play, check out this article.

You get points for winning the hole, more points if you win as the lone wolf, and the player with the most points at the end of the round wins.
