Putting together back-to-back solid 4 under par rounds, Medina’s Melanie Green finished in a tie for sixth place at the Epson Pro Golf Tour’s Great Lakes Championship which finished this afternoon in Michigan.

Green, who opened the tourney with an even par round of 72 on Friday, moved into contention with a 4 under par round of 68 on Saturday as 6 birdies more than offset 2 bogeys.

Keeping the momentum, Green matched that 4 under par round of 68 today to finish with a 208 total four shots back of the tourney winner’s 204 total on rounds of 72. 66. 66.

In fact, Green was as much as 9 under par and only 2 shots off the pace after birdies on 3, 8, 9, 11 and 15. However, a bogey on 17 dropped her back to 8 under still enough to earn her a top six finish.

The top 10 finish was her third of the season.
