Bengaluru: Aditi Ashok staved off a spirited challenge from Nishtha Madan to snare the strokeplay event in the Ladies section of the Usha IGU All-India Ladies and Juniors Girls Golf Championship 2014 Par 72 Eagleton Golf Resort on Thursday, ending up with a tally 214, two ahead of Nishtha.<\/p>\n
Aditi had a card of 74 in the final round on Thursday, but Nishtha had a great last nine as she carded a par 72 and put pressure on Aditi. But Aditi\u2019s second-round 67 was good enough to keep her ahead of the challenge.<\/p>\n
Seher Atwal (74) and Ridhima Dilawari (75) were tied at 218 for joint third.<\/p>\n
Aditi had a pretty average round, with three birdies and an equal number of bogeys in the first nine. She turned with a par 36, but lost two more strokes on the back nine. Nishtha, on the other hand, played a solid back nine to end up with a one-under 35, but that wasn\u2019t enough in the final analysis.<\/p>\n
The Category A results were the same as the Ladies section.<\/p>\n
Arshia Mahant won her contest with Diksha Dagar in Category B, the former finishing at 231, two strokes in the lead. Diksha was followed by Riya Ahuja at 234.<\/p>\n
