Aditi gets off to

season’s best start

Kapolei, US: Indian golfer Aditi

Ashok carded three birdies in her first five holes to get off to her best start of the 2021 LPGA season with a 3-under 69 in the

first round of the Lotte Championship. Aditi, playing her fifth event of the year, was under

70 for the first time this year and that should augur well for the

23-year-old from Bengaluru, who has made the cut in all four previous starts this year. Teeing off from the tenth, she birdied the 10th, 13th and 14th and turned in 3-under. Aditi was

four shots behind co-leader Britanny Altomare and Filipina

Yuka Saso (64).
