Aditi Ashok

Aditi Ashok shot a highly creditable 2-under 70 in demanding conditions at the Wildfire Golf Club in the opening round of the Bank of Hope Founders Cup. This has only been her second start on the LPGA this season, after missing the cut in her season-opener in Australian Women's Open. She is placed Tied-17th and is three shots behind co-leaders, Frenchwoman Karine Icher and Chella Choi, who carded 67 each. Korea's Inbee Park and Thai Ariya Jutanugarn shot 68 each to be Tied-3rd with four others.
