Aditi Ashok creates history, becomes first Indian female golfer to enter top 50

The 25-year-old golfer has been in sublime form and scored an average of 1.89 points to climb up the ladder in the world rankings by 15 spots and now occupies the 49th spot in the international world ranking.

On Tuesday (16th May), Aditi Ashok created history by becoming the first Indian female golfer to enter the top 50 in the world rankings following her T-5 place finish at the LPGA Founders Cup. 

The 25-year-old golfer has been in sublime form and scored an average of 1.89 points to climb up the ladder in the world rankings by 15 spots and now occupies the 49th spot in the international world ranking.

Recently, Aditi opined on her progress at the LPGA LA Championship commenting, "We were almost trying to hit the next wedge because there is water short of the green, but I decided to hit that one a little more full and we got the number exactly right because it landed in the hole. So I feel it was not a bad number."

Aditi added, "I think five or six birdies around this place is pretty good for a round, but just trying to focus on not dropping as many shots. I think I bogeyed three par-threes, so maybe just focus on hitting the middle of the green on the par threes and staying in position," she added.

After her impressive run at the LPGA LA Championship, Aditi will now shift her focus to the Aramco Series Florida, which kicks off next week and is a part of the Ladies European Tour. Currently, the young Indian golfer is spearheading the Race to Costa Del Sol, the Order of Merit for LET.
