Rohanna moves up the leaderboard

By Jim Downey jdowney@heraldstandard.Com 2 min read

Rachel Rohanna shot back-to-back rounds of 4-under 67 to move up the leaderboard in the LPGA Q Series at Pinehurst No. 6.

The Waynesburg Central graduate posted a bogey-free round in Friday’s third round with 14 pars and four birdies. Rohanna carded six birdies in Saturday’s fourth round with two bogeys, including a bogey on the final hole.

Rohanna had actually pulled to even-par for the tournament before the round-closing bogey. She shot 74 in the first round and ballooned a bit in the second round with a 77.

“Definitely my iron shots and putting,” Rohanna said of the difference in the last two rounds. “I had two bogeys today, but just made a few more putts and hit the ball a little better into the greens.”

The eight-round qualifying tournament takes a few days off, with the final four rounds resuming on Pinehurst No. 9 on Thursday and running through Saturday.

Rohanna didn’t feel the break would affect her solid play of the past two rounds.

“No, definitely not. It’s just like any other tournament, if you have a good one, carry over to the next one.. The little rest will feel great too! It was a long walk golf course and pretty hilly, too,” said Rohanna.
