Indian golfer 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 at two-under for the four days. She posted rounds of 73-70-71-71-73.
"It was a long week with a lot of ups and downs throughout the week," said Ashok.
"I think I could have done better, I finished just 2-under, but it is not bad." Ashok, who has had a positive attitude all week, has had a whirlwind last month with two wins on the Ladies European Tour.
"The last couple weeks have been amazing starting with my win back home in India. I won last week in Qatar and moved up the Order of Merit and hopefully I can do well in Dubai next week and then it will be a good year," said Ashok.
Ashok said she plans to play in as many LPGA events as possible next year.
