GOLF DE CHANTACO, FRANCE: Aditi Ashok played her fourth successive one-under 69 for her third straight top-10 finish on the Ladies European Tour at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.
The 18-year-old rookie Aditi, who was tied-ninth in Germany and then sixth in Spain, finished tied 10th in France, indicating a streak of fine performances.
At the top the seasoned 34-year-old Beth Allen overturned a four stroke deficit with nine holes to claim a decisive victory. After knocking at the door all season, the Californian fired rounds of 64, 67, 68 and 67 for a total of 14-under-par 266 to earn her second title on the Ladies European Tour.
Aditi opened the final day with a double bogey, but then went on an overdrive between the fourth and ninth as she had four birdies and an eagle to turn in a brilliant five-under 31, at which point she was in the running for a top-3.
A disastrous triple bogey on par-11th was followed by a bogey on 14th but then she had her final birdie of the day on 15th. She ended with three straight pars. The card of 69 meant she finished at four-under 276 and in tied-10th place.
