Aditi Ashok played a sensational third round of 11-under 61 to place herself in a commanding position to win a historic individual gold medal in the golf competition at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Saturday. Aditi, who is now seven shots clear of her closest rival, also carried the Indian women's team to the top spot, where it holds a one-shot lead over Thailand. Indian women have never won a medal at the Asian Games, as Aditi had finished a distant 21st at the Incheon Games in 2014.
Indian golfer Aditi Ashok continued to stay in medal contention in the individual event as she was just one shot behind the leader at tied second in the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Friday. In the process, she also kept the Indian women's team in the race for another medal at the West Lake International course. Aditi (67-66) was one behind Thailand's Arpichaya Yubol (67-65) while the Indian women's team is lying third behind China and Thailand. India has never won an Asian Games medal in the women's section.
The seven-member Indian golf team, comprising the likes of Anirban Lahiri and Aditi Ashok, will be hoping to carry forward its recent superb form when the event commences at the Asian Games on Thursday. Lahiri will be leading an experienced set of Indian golfers including Shubhankar Sharma, Khalin Joshi and SSP Chawrasia, while the women's team has the likes of Olympian Aditi, Pranavi Urs and Avani Prashanth. While Lahiri and Sharma have been given automatic berths in the men's section, Aditi has been given the same honour among women.
