Aditi wins partial playing rights on LPGA

Dayton Beach, December 5 

Aditi Ashok scripted another piece of history in her fast-rising career by clinching partial playing rights on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour with a tied 24th finish in the Qualifying Tournament here. 

The 18-year-old turned in a one-over 73 in the final round and finished two-under, posting rounds of 73-70-71-71-73.

“It was a long week with a lot of ups and downs,” said Aditi. “I think I could have done better, I finished just 2-under, but it is not bad.”

Aditi had two wins on the Ladies European Tour (LET) last month. “The last couple of weeks have been amazing, starting with my win back home. I won last week in Qatar and moved up the Order of Merit. Hopefully, I will do well in Dubai next week,” she said.

She said she plans to play in as many LPGA events as possible next year. 

“Obviously, I want to play in as many Majors as I can, hopefully all of them. I want to play in as many LPGA events as possible because I’ve done well on the LET and I think I have the potential to do well on the LPGA as well,” she said. — PTI
