“Hopefully, I can keep as many bogeys off the scorecard and keep making birdies,” Green said. “I think there will be some low scores.”
Carding birdies on 14 and 16, Green finished at 9-under 133, rebounding from dropped strokes on the par-4 12th hole and par-3 13th.
Megan Khang, Minjee Lee, Jin Young Ko and Lydia Ko all sit in second, three strokes behind Green at 6-under.
