An up and down final round of one under par 71 today was good enough to earn Medina’s Melanie Green a share of second place at the Epson Pro Golf Tour’s Hartford Healthcare Women’s Championship in Connecticut.
A birdie on the final hole earned Green the one under par round and a four day tournament total of 8 under par 280.
She also registered birdies on the day on 5, 6, 11 and 15 to offset four bogeys.
Green opened the tourney with a 1 over par round of 73 on Thursday but rebounded with a 5 under par round of 67 on Friday with six birdies to make the cut. That set the stage for a 3 under par round of 69 on Saturday to move her into a share of fourth place and into title contention.
Green has now finished second, first and fourth in her last three Epson Tournaments.
Next she will compete in the Epson Tournament in Guilderland, N/Y. near Albany this coming week.
