Before her maiden victory on the LPGA Tour, Green's best finish was third place at the 2018 ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.[3][4] and her best major finish was a tied for 16th at the 2018 ANA Inspiration.[5]
On 1 September 2019, Green won her second LPGA Tour event at the Cambia Portland Classic,[6] while in December 2019 she was awarded the Greg Norman Medal.[7] In February 2020, she was jointly awarded the 2019 Western Australian Sports Star of the Year with Australian rules football star, Nat Fyfe.[8]
On 4–7 August 2021, Green represented Australia in women's individual golf event at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo together with Minjee Lee. She scored −13 across the four rounds and finished fifth[9]
