Calgary, AB – The Rogers Charity Classic has been heating up as the competition intensifies. In the latest round, it was Canadian golfer, Mackenzie Green, who took the lead with an impressive performance.
Green’s hot streak began on the back nine, where she carded four birdies in a row. This propelled her to the top of the leaderboard, with a total score of 12-under 132. She now holds a one-shot lead over American golfer, Jennifer Kupcho.
The 25-year-old Green, who hails from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been on the LPGA Tour since 2018. She has yet to secure a win, but her consistent play has earned her a spot in the top 100 of the world rankings.
Green’s success at the Rogers Charity Classic is not surprising, as she has been playing well in recent tournaments. Just last week, she finished tied for 11th at the LPGA Mediheal Championship in California.
In an interview after her round, Green credited her strong putting for her success. She also mentioned that the warm weather in Calgary has been a welcome change from the cooler temperatures she’s used to playing in.
The Rogers Charity Classic, which is being held at the Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club, is known for its charitable contributions. The tournament has raised over $14 million for various charities since its inception in 1993.
Green’s performance has not only put her in contention for the tournament title, but it has also brought attention to the importance of giving back through sports. As the competition continues, it will be interesting to see if Green can maintain her lead and secure her first LPGA Tour win.
The final round of the Rogers Charity Classic will take place on Sunday, with a $2.25 million purse up for grabs. With Green at the top of the leaderboard, all eyes will be on her as she looks to make history and continue her impressive run.
