Aditi won the Ladies British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship at Moortown Golf Club. She played scores of 71, 73, 70, 71 to finish 11 under par on the par 74 course. She won the over all title (The Nicholls Trophy) and the under 18 title (Dinwiddy Trophy). She is one of the youngest winners of the tournament.

She is one of the youngest ever winners of this title and this would rank as the biggest win so far for the talented Indian girl who has already won the St Rule Trophy over the St Andrews Old and New Courses this year and finished second in the European Women’s Amateur Championship.

Aditi played solid golf. Under no pressure after establishing a four-stroke lead over the first 54 holes, Aditi could afford to relax a bit and have fun on the final circuit which she did with one eagle (at the 16th), five birdies and four bogeys in halves of 37-34. She also picked up the Dinwiddy Trophy for the lowest score for an Under 18.
