She opened the tournament Thursday with 2-over 74. Rohanna had three bogeys and one birdie.

The season closes this week with the Symetra Tour Championship in Daytona Beach, Fla. The tournament, with a purse of $250,000, opens Thursday and runs through Sunday at the LPGA International, Jones Course.
