Earlier, India’s Olympic-bound golfers Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar made underwhelming starts at the Amundi Evian Championships, one of the Majors on the women’s circuit.

Aditi shot even par 71 to be T-52, while Diksha carded 5-over 76 to be T-120. Aditi, who has played over 30 Majors, a record for any Indian, had two birdies and was 2-under through 12 holes, but back-to-back bogeys on the 13th and the 14th pulled her back to par and T-52nd place.

Diksha, starting from the tenth, had a birdie, two bogeys and a double in her first nine holes, which played in 2-over after a birdie on the 18th.

Recently, Aditi produced her best performance in a Major as she finished tied 17th at the Amundi Evian Championship with the help of three birdies in the last four holes. Aditi carded 2-under 69 and 7-under for the week. It was the first time she finished inside Top-20 at a Major
