Q. Australia, congratulations on winning the Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown. We have to start with this morning and the resilience you showed of getting into the final.

Grace, it came down to you on the 18th hole -- no, the 20th hole, but the 18th hole. Once again, that putt.

GRACE KIM: I was inspired by Steph's putt yesterday. I had a left-to-right as well. Obviously 18 is a tricky green. Steph said, we're going to go extra holes. I said okay. So we holed the putt and went to the 20th.

Q. Moving into the final, you switched up the lineup ever so slightly. As mums, aunties, what was the message going into this final? You've come second last time out. It's important to get it over the line, right?

HANNAH GREEN: Yes, we did switch it up slightly, gave me a bit more time to recover. Playing against Charley, she putted so well. So that was something I needed to work on, and I certainly did that this afternoon.

So it was really sweet to get the victory and actually get a point this week.

Q. Speaking about that victory, Minjee, how special was it to all be on that 16th hole at the moment of all those points being won and winning the International Crown?

MINJEE LEE: Yes, I finished first, and then I saw Hannah's hole, and then obviously we were done after that. It was really lovely. I couldn't -- I mean, I'm so happy that I could do it with these girls. It was just a lot of fun this whole week.

Playing match play is something different, and we don't really get to do it too often. I think we all kind of had a really fun week.

Q. You've played in this five times as the Australian team. I mentioned now that you've won, but what does it take to win one of these? We always look at you guys and think you've got really good team bonding, but you're also excellent players, aren't you, Steph?

STEPHANIE KYRIACOU: I guess so, we are. I think it takes a lot of grit to win. I think in a lot of our matches we were behind the eight ball, especially going into the back nine. I don't think we were up in a match -- well, me and Minjee definitely weren't.

We managed to come back in every match with me and Gracey. I think having grit throughout the week got us over the line.

Q. It's been a long week, five rounds of golf, but it's time to give you your crowns. Australia, you are the 2025 Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown champions.
