Medina High graduate and University of South Florida senior Melanie Green slipped to a shot off the lead after today’s second round of the Mountain View Collegiate Golf Tournament being held at the Mountain View Golf Club in Tucson Arizona.

Green, who held a one shot lead after Friday’s opening round, shot an even par 72 today with two birdies and two bogies for a two-day total of five under par 139.

She now trails a pair of golfers, Arkansas’s Maria Jose Main and Iowa State’s Karisa Chul-Ak-Sorn, who are both six under par at 138.

Green is all alone at -5. There is one player at -4 and seven at -3.

Green opened the tourney with a five under par round of 67 on Friday including seven birdies and two bogies which gave her a one shot lead.

The tournament will conclude on Sunday.
