Aditi Ashok finishes tied 31st in Czech Republic

TIL Desk Sports/ Aditi Ashok finished tied 31st at the Tipsport Golf Masters on the Ladies European Tour here. The Bengaluru girl carded 71, 71 and 68 and at three-under 210, she was 12 shots behind the eventual winner, Denmark’s Nanna Koerstz Madsen, who gave a dominant display en-route to her maiden Ladies European Tour title. It was the third straight event where Aditi had made the cut in her Rookie Year.

The 18-year-old, whose best in an LET event is tied eighth as an amateur at the Hero Women’s Indian Open in 2012, had finished tied 21 at Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco, tied 27 at the Buick Championships in Shanghai and now tied 31 in Czech Republic. In between she tried and failed to qualify for the Majors, US Women’s Open and the Evian Championships.

Aditi is now 39th in the Ladies European Tour rankings from four starts and she has missed the cut at the NZ Women’s Open, which was also her first start on LET Tour. Nanna Madsen, 21, professional from Smoerum fired six birdies in a closing 65 — the best round of the day at Golf Park Pilsen — to end on 15-under-par and five strokes ahead of Scotland’s Pamela Pretswell and overnight leader Stacey Keating of Australia. Pretswell and Keating both holed massive birdie putts on 18 to go into joint second, while Sweden’s Linda Wessberg tied for fourth with Swiss amateur Albane Valenzuela.
