India's Aditi Ashok got off to a flying start with a bogey-free five-under 66 to lie tied-fifth after the first round of the Dana Open on the Ladies PGA Tour.
Aditi was two shots behind Sweden’s Linn Grant and Thailand’s Jaravee Boonchant, who shot seven-under 64 each, while another Thai, Ariya Jutanugarn and Denmark’s Emily Pedersen, whose first LET win came in Aditi’s home event, the Hero Indian Open in 2015, carded 65 each to be second.
Aditi was tied fifth with eight others, including the KPMG PGA champion Rose Zhang, Tardy Bailey, Linnea Johansson, Matilda Castren, Linnea Strom, Xiyu Lin, Kelly Tan and Xiaowen Yin at the par-71 Highland Meadows Golf Club.
