Ice-cool Hannah Green has continued Australia's golden run on the global golf stage with a stirring playoff victory at the $US3 million JM Eagle LA Championship in California.

Green held her nerve down the stretch to join China's Xiyu Lin and Aditi Ashok of India in a three-woman sudden-death playoff before sealing her first LPGA Tour win in three-and-a-half years on the second extra hole.

The 26-year-old holed a 25-foot birdie putt on the last to make the playoff and also needed to drain a five-footer on the first extra hole to stay in the hunt with Lin after Ashok was eliminated with a par.

Playing the par-3 18th for a third time in a row, Green secured victory with a par after Lin was unable to get up and down from a greenside bunker.

As well as the prestige, Green pocketed a cheque for $US450,000 ($A680,000) for winning her first LPGA Tour event since the Portland Classic in September 2019.

It didn't look like being Green's day when she could only manage to par her first 14 holes.

She couldn't buy a birdie until finally nabbing one on the par-5 15th to claim a four-way share of the lead.

But when Ashok and Lin made birdies at the last, Green had to drop a bomb to join them in the playoff at nine-under 275 for the 72 regulation holes.

Green is the fourth Australian in the past fortnight to win on the major tours around the world.

Grace Kim claimed her maiden LPGA Tour title at the LOTTE Championship in Hawaii, before Lucas Herbert snared his third DP World Tour trophy at the ISPS Handa Championship in Japan and Mark Hensby broke through at the PGA Tour Champions' Invited Celebrity Classic in Texas.
