After a stormy morning, South Florida’s Melanie Greene shot 68 with six birdies to claim medalist honors at the 122nd U.S. Women’s Amateur Qualifier at Lake Forest Country Club on Tuesday.
Greene used a 33 on the front nine to propel her to shoot the stellar 68.
“It was good,” “It was a good overall day,” Greene said. “To start the front bogey free was excellent and heading to the back was a little more nerve wracking but I just kept the pressure on throughout the day. It was fun.”
Greene also qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open in early June.
Brooke Rivers and Rianne Mikhaela Malixi each shot a round of 3-under par 69 to qualify in the second and third spots.
The fourth spot went to Katie Li a with a birdie on the first playoff hole after bouncing back from a double bogey on her 18th hole. Jenn Davis and Vanessa Zhang secured the first and second alternate spots.
The 122nd U.S. Women’s Amateur will take place from August 8-14 at Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Place, Washington.
