Building on the momentum from Thursday’s red hot 5 under par round of 67, Medina’s Melanie Green fired a sizzling 8 under par round of 64 today to move into a share of the lead at the Epson Tour’s Copper Rock Championship in Utah.
Green registered 8 birdies on today’s round for a two day total of 13 under par 131 to move into first place for the first time on this her first full season on the Epson Pro Tour.
She started strong notching birdies on the 1st, 3rd and 5th holes. She tacked on three more birdies on the 8th, 10th and 11th holes before completing the outstanding round in strong fashion with birdies on the 17th and 18th holes.
Her round of 8 under was the best of the day.
Green is tied for first place with Hailee Cooper who posted a 4 under par round of 68. She was the leader going into today after opening with a 63 on Thursday.
The tournament will conclude on Saturday.
