For the second day in a row bogey problems proved troublesome as Medina’s Melanie Green has failed to make the cut at the LPGA Tour’s Kroger Queen City Championship being played in Cincinnati.
Green, who opened the tournament with a 3 over par round of 73 on Thursday, had a 1 over par round of 71 today for a 4 over par total of 144 which was two shots over the cutline of 2 over par.
Starting on the front 9, Green jumped to 5 over early after bogies on 4 and 6.
She rebounded strongly though with an eagle on 7 and a birdie on 8 to go back to 2 over and stay in the hunt to play on the weekend.
However, bogies on 10 and 17, which put her back to 4 over par, dashed those comeback hopes.
It was just the second time in 8 LPGA starts on this her rookie season on the tour that she has not made the cut.
Green’s next start will be at the ShopRite LPGA Classic in New Jersey, May 29-31.
