We give you a ringside view of the ace Golfers who helped Indian Golf touch a new high recently:

 

 

Aditi Ashok records her best finish in a Major

 

 

 

 

India’s Golfing sensation Aditi Ashok is on a roll. She recorded her best-ever finish in a Major as she ended her campaign at Tied-22nd in the Ricoh Women's British Open. A flawless four-under 68 helped Aditi Ashok record her best-ever finish in a Major as she ended her campaign at Tied-22nd in the Ricoh Women’s British Open.

Her earlier rounds were 72, 72 and 73 and she totalled three-under 285. Aditi’s previous best at a Major was T-29 at the 2017 Women’s PGA Championships.

 

 

 

A ‘Major’ record for Anirban Lahiri!

 

 

 

 

India’s Anirban Lahiri is increasingly gaining accolades and setting new milestones. By teeing off at next week’s PGA Championship, Anirban Lahiri will become the Indian with the most number of appearances in major championships - 50. He goes past Jeev Milkha Singh’s record of playing in most majors by an Indian.

 

 

Also, the Golf legend is up 15 places from 108 after finishing tied 6^th in WGC Bridgestone Invitational in Akron. That makes him in the top 100 list too! Now that’s incredible!
