Rough start for Aditi at KPMG Women's PGA
Indian golfer Aditi Ashok witnessed a rough start as she carded a disappointing five-over 77 on the opening day, which puts her at risk of missing the cut at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship here.
Aditi opened with a series of three bogeys and ended with two more to
sign off a terrible day that saw wind and rain play a big factor at the third Major of the year in women's golf.
Lying 102nd on the leaderboard, Aditi will need to go low in the second round to make the cut as 61 players shot two-over or better and Hannah Green, a 22-year-old Australian was on top of the standings.
The 6,807-yard long Hazeltine course has provided a tough test for the players.
Green found only six fairways and nine greens but her putter worked well and she need just 23 putts for her round. Green's best finish at a Major is tied 16th at last year's ANA Inspiration.
Aditi has made one cut and missed another in the first two Majors of a season that has been very modest.
She bogeyed 10th, 11th and 12th before
