Indian golfer Aditi Ashok has kept herself in contention for a medal at the Olympic Games after another impressive round on Friday.
Aditi Ashok is among the two Indians at the event, with Diksha Dagar (tied-51st) a later entry.
In round three that came to a close, Aditi registered a three-under 68 to be in sole second position on the leaderboard behind only the impressive Nelly Korda of USA, who has a handy three-stroke lead at the top.
This is Aditi’s second Olympic appearance. She had finished tied 41st in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro edition.
