Perth’s Hannah Green has finished tied for 10th at the Dana Open Presented by Marathon in Sylvania in Ohio, recording her 6th top ten of the LPGA Tour season.
Green, who has not missed a cut in 16 starts in 2022, recovered from a slow start to this event on Thursday when an opening round of 74 left her fighting to make the cut. But the 25 year old responded with a round of 62 on Friday and weekend rounds of 66 and 69 to finish five shots behind the winner, Gabi Lopez.
“I feel like I’ve been playing well all year but I really haven’t shot low numbers, so to have that kind of just makes me feel good,” said Green earlier in the week when talking of her second round of 62. “Like I’m doing the right thing and working on the right things.
“Hopefully, not just this week, but the rest of the year I can continue to, yeah, believe in myself and have some good results.”
New Zealand’s Lydia Ko worked herself into the tournament with a third round of 64 but was unable to finish strongly today, a final round of 71 seeing her in a share of 16th.
Sydney’s Stephanie Kyriacou was 45th and Minjee Lee 49th.
The LPGA Tour now moves to Cinncinati, also in Ohio, for next week’s Kroger Queen City Championship.
