The LPGA begins its European swing today with the start of one of the tour’s majors – the Amundi-Evian Championship – which is being held at Evian-les-Bains, France.
Medina’s Melanie Green got off to a solid start with an opening round of even par 71. That score is even more impressive when Nelly Korda, the tour’s No.1 ranked player, opened with a 3 over par 74.
Starting on the back nine, Green quickly moved to 3 under par after birdies on 11, 12 and 14.
However, the front nine proved to be more troublesome as she had bogeys on 5, 8 and 9 to finish the day at even par.
The tournament will continue on Friday after which the field will be cut for the two weekend championship deciding rounds.
