India’s Aditi Ashok got a stunning 8 under 64 to score an impressive tied 6th in the Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic at the Emirates Golf Club here
Aditi went from T-17 overnight for her second best result of 2020 after her tie for 4th at the NSW Open in January In eight events this year, she made the cut in four and had two Top-10s
The 64 was also Aditi’s best in a main event since turning pro, although she did point out she was 10 under 62 in the LET Q-School third round she won in December 2015 She was also a nine-under 63 in qualifying for the 18 hole British Open in July 2016
Tvesa Malik, a late participant in the event, finally found her rhythm after 75-75 in the first two laps
She shot a 69 and came up to finish tied for 27th, but it was a tough day for Diksha Dagar (83) as she fell to tie-48th Astha Madan (77) finished tied-52nd Tvesa had four birdies against a bogey
Meanwhile, Minjee Lee (69) landed a massive putt to beat Celine Boutier (68) in a play-off after the two players were tied at 10 under Night leader Caroline Hedwall (72) ended in a tie for third place at 9 under
Reflecting on his performance, Aditi said: “Coming into the final round I just thought I would make the most of it and try to have a birdie chance on every hole. I love playing in Dubai and it was nice to have a good finish here again
