RIO DE JANEIRO: Aditi Ashok rounded off yet another week with a card of five-over 76 to end her campaign at the 41st spot in the women’s golf event on Saturday. For Aditi to hold her own on first two days when her cards of 68-68 kept her in the top-8 was a big step for Indian golf at world stage. However, she shot 79 on the third day. On the final day the 18-year-old finished the week at seven-over 291. Meanwhile, South Korea’s Inbee Park (66-66-70-66) with a total of 16-under 268 outclassed the field by seven strokes to become the first women’s individual golf gold medallist since 1904. Lydia Ko took silver at 11-under, while China’s Shanshan Feng at 10-under took the bronze.
