Putting together a second straight strong sub par round, Medina’s Melanie Green has surged into the top five at the LPGA Tour’s L.A. Championship Tournament at Los Angeles.
Green fired a 4 under par round of 68 today to increase her two day total to 9 under and move into a tie for fourth place with part of the field still on the course.
Green, who opened the tourney with a sizzling 5 under par 67 on Thursday, quickly moved to 7 under with birdies on 1 and 3.
However, back-to-back bogies on 6 and 7, erased that gain.
Rebounding, Green quickly battled back with a birdie on 8. Keeping the momentum she registered three birdies on the back 9 on 12, 14 and 16 to finish the day at 4 under 68.
The tournament continues on Saturday and will conclude on Sunday.
