It was truly a roller coaster day for Medina’s Melanie Green at today’s third round of the LPGA Tour’s Riviera Maya Open in Mexico.

Starting the day at 8 under par for the tourney and just one shot off the lead, Green survived a rash of five bogies (thanks to four birdies) to post a 1 over par round of 73 leaving her at 7 under for the tourney and tied for sixth place.

Green rebounded from a bogey on the first hole to notch back-to-back birdies on 4 and 5 to go 9 under and briefly move into a tie for first place with Nelly Korda.

However, bogeys on 6, 10 and 11 quickly dropped her to 6 under.

She again rebounded with birdies on 13 and 18 to offset another bogey on 15 to finish the day with a 1 over round of 73.

Green will enter Sunday’s final round 7 shots back of front-running Korda who had a 5 under par round of 67 to go to 14 under for the tourney.

Green opened the tournament with a sizzling 6 under par round of 66 on Thursday and followed that up with a 2 under par round of 70 on Friday.
