She added that she was in a good position for the next day. Her words were ( via ASAP Sports):“Was 1-under through 2 and then 1-over through 3, so was kind of a very up and down start. But the putter was really hot. I think I had six or seven one-putts in a row for par and for birdie, so that was really nice. And obviously kept the momentum going and played solid on the back nine until the last. Obviously wasn't meaning to (indiscernible) the shot in the last. And then I had kind of a tough chip shot. It was a actually a lot more bare than I thought and I hadn't really chipped in a long time. So annoying to finish with a bogey, but still in a good position for tomorrow.”She continued, “it's hard not to know what is happening with the scores. I did see the shot behind me from the group and someone hit it to like three feet, so feeling like I maybe lost four shots on one hole was kind of annoying. Again, to bounce back on the next hole and make a birdie, that was really the momentum that I used for the rest of the round.”Green’s last LPGA tournament was the BMW Ladies Championship, where she finished at T5 with a total score of 17 under.
