Playing in a star studded threesome, Medina’s Melanie Green shot a one over par 71 today on the final round of the LPGA Tour’s The Annika Tournament at Belleair, Florida.

Green was playing with Nelly Korda, who is the tour’s No. 1 ranked player, and Lottie Woad, who is ranked No. 10.

The three entered the final day of the tournament deadlocked with identical 7 under par totals.

Korda went 3 under for the day to finish at 10 under and in 7th place while Woad went 1 under to finish at 8 under and tied for 9th.

Green’s 71 enabled her to finish the tournament at 6 under and tied for 14th place.

Equally important her 83rd place finish on the tour’s standings enables her to retain her LPGA Tour card for next year. The top 100 on the tour standings retain their cards.

It was a sea-saw day for Green who alternated birdies and bogeys. She had birdies on 5, 10 and 16 and bogeys on 2, 9. 14 and 17.

The event was the final regular season tournament on the LPGA schedule.
