December 05, 2016: Aditi Ashok is in Dubai this week to round off a sensational rookie season with another solid performance. After back to back victories on the Ladies European Tour, the young Indian will be eager to sign off with a flourish in the Dubai Ladies Masters.

Irrespective of the result this week, Aditi Ashok has enjoyed a brilliant start to an immensely promising career. She sealed a category 17 (provisional status) card on the LPGA Tour last week, finishing T24 in the final stage of qualifying school.

Aditi Ashok endured a tough week at Daytona Beach to end up just outside the top 20, but enough to secure a LPGA Tour membership. She turned in a 1-over, 73 on Sunday and finished at 2-under for the four days. She posted rounds of 73-70-71-71-73.
“It was a long week with a lot of ups and downs throughout the week,” said Ashok. “I think I could have done better, I finished just 2-under, but it is not bad.”

Ashok, who has had a positive attitude all week, has had a whirlwind last month with two wins on the Ladies European Tour.

“The last couple weeks have been amazing starting with my win back home in India,” said Ashok. “I won last week in Qatar and moved up the Order of Merit and hopefully I can do well in Dubai next week and then it will be a good year.”

Ashok said she plans to play in as many LPGA events as possible next year.

“Obviously, I want to play in as many majors as I can, hopefully all of them,” said Ashok.

“I want to play in as many LPGA events as possible because I’ve done well on the LET and I think I have potential to do well on the LPGA as well.”
