Surviving a rash of bogeys on the front nine, Medina’s Melanie Green posted a 1 over par 72 today on the opening round of the LPGA Tour’s ShopRite Tournament at Galloway, New Jersey.
Green had four bogeys on the front nine (on 1,2, 6 and 7).
However, she was able to answer with three birdies (on 3, 5 and 8) to stay at just 1 over at the turn.
Another bogey on 14 put her to two over but she rallied with a clutch birdie on 18 to finish the round at 1 over.
The tournament will continue on Saturday after which the field will be cut in preparation for Sunday’s final round.
