Playing at the West Lake International Golf Course, Aditi shot a five-under 67 and was sharing the second spot with four players as Japan's Saki Baba shot a superb seven-under 65 to grab the early lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I started really good but I couldn\u2019t really hole anything. Then I knocked that one really close on 18 and that helped. When you\u2019re not holing putts it is good to have a short one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAfter that, I built some confidence and kept hitting it well and holed a couple more,\u201d said Aditi after the first round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Aditi, who is ranked 47th in the World, was sharing the second spot with three Chinese -- World No. 1 Ruoning Yin, Yu Liu and world No.12, Xiyu Lin and Thailand's YUbol Arpichaya, all clubbed at 67.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Among Aditi's teammates, Pranavi Urs was T17 with one-under 71 while Avani Prashanth was T21 at even-par 72.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the best two scores being counted towards the team total, India are in the fifth position in the Team competition with a combined total of 138. China and Japan were tied for the top spot at 10-under par 134. Thailand are third at eight-under 136, and the Republic of Korea at fourth with 137.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Indian players will have to come back strongly in the second round to get into medal contention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/09\/asian-games-aditi-ashok-t2-with-67-after-first-round-india-fifth-in-team-event-of-womens-golf.jpg", "alt_img": "Asian Games: Aditi Ashok T2 with 67 after first round, India fifth in Team event of women's golf", "alt_title": "Golf: Aditi Ashok, Diksha Dagar to tee up at Women's British Open", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Asian Games: Aditi Ashok T2 With 67 After First Round, India Fifth In Team Event Of Women's Golf On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Asian Games: Aditi Ashok T2 With 67 After First Round, India Fifth In Team Event Of Women's Golf, West Lake International Golf Course: India's Aditi Ashok struggled with her putter initially but managed to come back and finish.", "seo_keywords": "Aditi Ashok, Individual Golf, Asian Games, West Lake International Golf Course, Saki Baba, World No, Ruoning Yin, Yu Liu, Xiyu Lin, YUbol Arpichaya, Among Aditi, Pranavi Urs, Avani Prashanth, The Indian", "tag": "", "tagging": "Aditi Ashok, Individual Golf, Asian Games, Saki Baba, World No, Ruoning Yin, Yu Liu, Xiyu Lin, YUbol Arpichaya, Among Aditi, Pranavi Urs, Avani Prashanth, The Indian", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "asian-games-aditi-ashok-t2-with-67-after-first-round-india-fifth-in-team-event-of-womens-golf", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "707", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-09-28 12:38:02", "updated": "2023-09-28 12:38:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Aditi Ashok, Individual Golf, Asian Games, West Lake International Golf Course, Saki Baba, World No, Ruoning Yin, Yu Liu, Xiyu Lin, YUbol Arpichaya, Among Aditi, Pranavi Urs, Avani Prashanth, The Indian", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-09-28 12:38:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "799831", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/asian-games-aditi-ashok-t2-with-67-after-first-round-india-fifth-in-team-event-of-womens-golf-8984" }
