Aditi Ashok- The Blooming Golf Star | Aditi falls short of a medal at Tokyo Olympics 2020
Aditi Ashok was born in Bangalore in 1998 and began playing golf from the age of 5. Her parents were immensely supportive with her father being her caddie. Aditi began competing from the age of 7 and by the time she reached 10, she already had a title to her name. Her game gradually began improving over the years and by the end of 2011, she had three amateur titles to her name.
Aditi’s fourth amateur title came a year later and in 2013, she won the Asia Pacific Junior Championship. In the same year, she competed at the Asian Youth Games at Nanjing under the Olympic flag. Aditi came 10th with a score of 3-over-par 219.
The following year, Ashok won her sixth amateur title at the Eastern India ladies amateur tournament and also competed at the Asian Games at Incheon. Aditi ended 21st with a score of 11-over-par 299. She came second amongst the three Indian golfers competing in the tournament behind Gurbani Singh who ended 15th. Aditi also competed at the Youth Olympics at Nanjing where she secured 11th position in the women’s individual event. She also competed at the team event with Feroz Garewal and the duo were ranked 21st.
In 2015, Aditi won her seventh amateur title and she also secured her Ladies European Tour card for the 2016 season by winning the Lalla Aicha Tour School qualifying. This made her the youngest winner of a Q-School for an international tour.
She began her European Tour in emphatic fashion by winning the Hero Women’s Indian Open at Gurgaon with a score of 3-under-par 213. This made her the first Indian to win a Ladies European Tour title as well as the tournament’s youngest-ever champion. She followed this by winning her second European Tour title at the inaugural Qatar Ladies Open just two weeks later with a score of 15-under-par 273.
Aditi Ashok’s performance at the Rio Olympics surpassed those of her male compatriots SSP Chawrasia and Anirban Lahiri. Chawrasia ended tied 50th with a score of 5-over-par 289 while Lahiri ended 57th with a score of 10-over-par 294.

Golf returned back to the Olympics after an extremely long wait of 112 years. Aditi Ashok was one of the three golfers that represented India at the Rio Olympics. This made her the first Indian to play the Asian Youth Games, the Youth Olympics, the Asian Games, and the Olympics. She began well by maintaining her stay at the top eight of the field for the first two rounds.
However, her third round was disappointing as she shot 79. This was followed by shooting 76 in the final round where she missed some putts and for the first time in four days, had no birdies, just three bogeys, and one double bogey. This led her to finish 41st out of the 60 putters with a score of 7-over-par 291. Slipping from the top 8 to 41st is quite a nasty drop but it still isn’t too bad for an 18-year-old teenager who is in the beginning phase of her professional career.
