Aditi looked promising after Round 1, finishing at No. 7 but failed to maintain consistency finishing at No. 17 and No. 56 respectively after Rounds 2 and 3. India’s performance in golf has not been up to the mark in the men’s events as well. Golfers SS Chawrasia completed at No. 50 after final round while Anirban Lahiri finished the same at No. 57. Now, it all depends upon Aditi Ashok if India makes a mark with their performance in golf on it’s inclusion to Olympics after over a century.
India has so far managed only two medals. Sakshi Malik became the first to win a medal for India at Rio 2016 as she won the bronze in women’s 58 kg freestyle wrestling. India’s next medal came in badminton as PV Sindhu bagged the silver in women’s singles.
