Rohanna finishes tied for 5th in Arkansas
Rachel Rohanna bookended strong rounds to finish tied for fifth in the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout in El Dorado, Ark.
The Waynesburg Central graduate shot 4-under 68 in Sunday’s final round, taking home $4,050 for her top-5 finish with a three-round total of 7-under 209. She shot 5-under 67 in the first round, for a share of the lead, and 2-over 74 in Saturday’s second round.
Rohanna is in 23rd place on the Symetra Tour money list with $30,514 in 12 events.
Hannah Green, who played with Rohanna, rallied with an 8-under 64 in the final round to win the tournament and the winner’s share of $15,000 with an 11-under 205.
“I got to witness a good 8-under,” said Rohanna.
Rohanna had only one bogey in the final round, but she matched the lost shot with three birdies on the front nine to go out in 2-under 34. She was solid on the back nine, as well, with two birdies and seven pars to come back in 34.
“Yes, I just had one bogey & a bad par on the last hole, but other than that it was good. I hit some great shots,” said Rohanna.
Rohanna was satisfied with her play over the three-round Symetra Tour event.
“Yes, for sure!,” responded Rohanna. “I just a rough day yesterday, but am happy with how I played on this course.”
Rohanna has the week off before she boards a plane Saturday for the McKayson New Zealand Women’s Open in Auckland, New Zealand, on Sept. 28-Oct. 1, as the LPGA Tour swings into the south Pacific.
