NEW DELHI: When India woke up at 4:30 in the morning last August to watch golfer Aditi Ashok teeing off, eyeing a historic Olympic medal in Tokyo, it seemed sports in India had turned a corner. For a sport considered to be lying in the deepest pocket of the sporting scene in the country, the google search keywords emanating from India that morning were par, birdie, eagle, bogey and so on.
Aditi, ranked No. 200 at that time, missed the podium by a whisker to finish fourth -- incredible by all means for an Indian golfer competing at the Olympics.
