Epson Tour contributed Photo – Medina’s Melanie Green, right and her caddie Leo Madeiros had plenty of reason to celebrate today as Green earned both the Epson Tour’s Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year awards.
Capping off an outstanding debut pro season, Medina’s Melanie Green has captured both the Epson Tour’s Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year awards.
A seventh place finish at the season ending Epson championship tournament, which concluded today at Indian Wells, California, was enough to earn the two major awards for Green who had already locked up her coveted LPGA Tour Card for 2026.
She earned the awards by finishing first in the Epson Tour’s season long points race. She is the first player to win both awards since 2016.
Green, who scored two tournament victories on the Epson Tour this season, finished the championship tournament with a 17 under par total of 271 good for a tie for seventh place five shots back of the leader.
She registered six birdies today on 3, 4, 6, 7, 11 and 18 but had two costly late bogies on 13 and 15 after she had gotten to as low as 18 under.
For the four day, 72 hole tournament, she had rounds of 68, 68, 67 and 68 for the 271 total.
