Golf Channel Photo – Melanie Green waits to tee off at today’s final round of the LPGAs’s LA Championship tournament.
Surviving a very up and down day at today’s final round, Medina’s Melanie Green has posted a top 10 finish at the LPGA Tour’s LA Championship Tournament at Los Angeles.
Green posted a 1 over par round of 73 today to finish the four day tournament with an 11 under total and a tie for 9th place.
The first two holes set the tone for today’s wild roller coaster ride as she birdied 1 to go to 13 under only to bogey 2 to go back to 12 under.
That trend repeated itself a couple of holes later as she again birdied 4 to go 13 under only to bogey 5 to go back to 12 under.
Bogeys on 10 and 12 dropped her to 10 under but she regrouped answering with birdies on 14 and 15 to go back to 12 under.
However the roller-coaster ride had one more dip as a bogey on the par 3 17th hole dropped her back to 11 under, a score she held with a pair on 18.
She finished the tourney with a 277 total after rounds of 67, 68, 69 and 73.
The tie for 9th was her best finish in what was only the fourth tourney of this her LPGA rookie season.
