Getting off to a strong start, Medina’s Melanie Green fired a sizzling 5 under par round of 67 today on the opening round of the LPGA Tour’s LA Championship Tournament at Los Angeles.
Starting on the back nine, Green rebounded strongly from her only bogey of the day on No. 12.
She registered birdies on 14 and 16 to make the turn at one under par.
Keeping the momentum, Green then put together a key run of birdies on the front nine.
She registered a birdie on No.3 to go 2 under and then finished strong notching three straight birdies on 6, 7 and 8 to improve to 5 under.
Her round of 67 has her four shots back of the leader.
The tourney’s second round will be held on Friday after which the field will be cut.
