Putting together a strong finish, Medina’s Melanie Green is within one shot of the lead at the end of today’s second round of the LPGA Tour’s Riviera Maya Open in Mexico.
Notching three clutch birdies over the final 6 holes (on 13, 14 and 18) Green posted a 2 under par round of 70 today to improve to 8 under for the tournament.
She now trails co-leaders Nelly Korda and Brianna Do, both at 9, under by just one stroke.
Green started the day at 6 under and in a share of the tourney lead.
She bogeyed the first hole but rebounded with a birdie on 5.
She again slipped to 5 under for the tourney with a bogey on 11 but again bounded back strongly with that late flurry of three birdies to improve to 8 under and move back into the thick of the race for the tourney title.
The tournament will continue on Saturday and conclude on Sunday.
