A double bogey on the first hole this morning proved to be tough to overcome as Medina’s Melanie Green finished in a tie for 12th at the Epson Tour’s Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout which concluded today at El Dorado, Arkansas.
Green’s busy day started by playing the final two holes of the second round which was suspended by darkness on Saturday.
She started the morning at even par for the tournament but quickly went to 2 over after posting a double bogey on her first hole, No. 17. Rebounding she pared 18 to finish the second round at 2 over.
That set the stage for the tourney closing third round during which she alternated birdies and bogeys to finish the round with a 1 under par 71. She had birdies on 5, 11 and 18 and bogeys on 8 and 15.
She finished the tourney with a 1 over par total of 217 and tied for 12th with some of the field still on the course.
Next up for Green will be the Epson Tour’s season ending championship tournament in California in early October.
