Green shot a 6-under 66 on Friday at Columbia Edgewater for a share of the lead with Cydney Clanton in the LPGA Tour event reduced to 54 holes because of poor air quality caused by wildfires. Green was able to finish in fading light, while many other afternoon starters were still on the course when darkness suspended play.
The 23-year-old Australian, also the major KPMG Women’s PGA Championship winner in a breakthrough 2019 season, birdied four of the first five holes and returned from the weather break to add another on the par-5 seventh. After missing birdie chances on the two back-nine par 5s, she birdied the par-3 13th and 16th and closed with a bogey on the par-4 18th just before sunset."It’s obviously really soft," Green said.
"I hit the ball really well, but I’ve been hitting the ball really well, and the putter was finally hot," Clanton said. "I finally made some putts. It’s also nice to hit some really close and had a par 5 in two have a two-putt. So, it was really nice to see the ball starting to go in the hole." Hamilton’s Alena Sharp was tied for 39th after shooting a 1-under 71. Calgary’s Jaclyn Lee was tied for 112th after a 3-over 75 round."I struggled a little bit with the driver the last few weeks," Masson said. "Definitely found something that’s a lot more comfortable and a lot more solid. Just I think given me a little bit of confidence off the tee. It was just nice, especially on a tighter course like this. From there, it was pretty solid.""I love this place.
