Indian golfer Aditi Ashok made a stellar start to the Gainbridge LPGA tournament with a score of 6-under 66 to move to joint third position. She is only three shots away from top-ranked Lydia. Aditi, who missed the cut last time on this course, has been in great form on the very first day itself. She has bogeyed only once on the 18th hole. India's Nishtha Madan is at the very bottom with a score of 5 overs 77. Nishtha, playing by invitation, is busy making her LPGA debut. He made two birdies but made 5 bogeys and two double bogeys.
Not long ago, India's Veer Ahlawat has managed to finish joint 5th in the SMBC Singapore Open golf tournament with a career-best performance here on Sunday but missed out on a place in the 150th Open Championship to be held in St Andrews.
Veer made a double bogey and a bogey in the last 2 holes, which has moved him from the second to the joint 5th position and he also failed to succeed in getting one of the four places available for The Open Championship. Veer's total score was seven-under. Shiv Kapur has also managed to make it to the top 10 with a total score of 5 under from a score of 69 in the final round. Viraj Madappa (73) remained joint 48th, Rashid Khan (73) joint 53rd and S. Chikrangappa (76) joint 65th. Thailand's Sedome Keivkanjana has also won the title with a total score of 13 under.
