Catching fire on the back nine today, Medina’s Melanie Green rallied to earn a tie for fourth place at the Epson Pro Golf Tour’s Otter Creek Championship Tournament at Columbus, Indiana.
Green was 3 under par and tied for 17th heading into today’s final round. She was still just 3 under after the front nine as a birdie on No. 5 offset a bogey on No. 6.
However, Green exploded on the back nine registering a barrage of 6 birdies over the nine holes (on 10, 11, 13, 15, 16 and 18) for a blistering score of 30 to finish the day with a 6 under par round of 66.
That sensational back nine enabled her to finish the three day tournament with a 9 under par total of 207 good for a share of fourth place 5 shots back of the leader.
Green opened the tourney with a par round of 72 on Friday and improved to a 3 under par round of 69 on Saturday as four birdies (on 2, 9, 11 and 14) more than off set one bogey.
The top 10 finish was Green’s fifth of the season and came the week after she scored her milestone first Epson Tour tournament victory.
Her next event on the Epson Tournament will be in Connecticut on July 10-13.
