It was a bumpy roller-coaster ride for Medina’s Melanie Green today at the opening round of the LPGA Tour’s Kroger Queen City Championship being played at Cincinnati.
Hampered by a double bogey and a triple bogey, Green finished the day with a 3 over par round of 73.
Starting on the back 9, Green slipped to 3 over after a double bogey on 16 and a bogey on 17.
Battling back, she put together a strong string of four straight birdies on 18, 1, 2 and 3 to rally back to 1 under.
However, the round finished as tough as it started as a bogey on 5 put her back to even and then a disastrous triple bogey on 8 ballooned her back to 3 over for the day.
The tournament will continue on Friday after which the field will be cut. The final two rounds are slated for Saturday and Sunday.
