Aditi Ashok's Rollercoaster Olympic Journey Amid Lydia Ko's Gold Triumph

Aditi Ashok finished tied-29th in the Olympic women's golf competition, a step back from her fourth-place finish in Tokyo. Despite her challenges, Aditi remained optimistic. Lydia Ko clinched the gold, becoming the first modern golfer to win three Olympic medals and entering the LPGA Hall of Fame.

Aditi Ashok, who narrowly missed a medal three years ago in Tokyo, showcased her best performance on the final day of the Olympic women's golf competition by making seven birdies, finishing tied-29th on Saturday.

She shot a 4-under 68 among 60 players at the challenging Le Golf National, tallying 2-over 290 over four rounds, short of her 15-under in Tokyo. Diksha Dagar, another Indian golfer, finished with a total of 13-over 301.

New Zealander Lydia Ko secured the gold medal with a steady performance, becoming the first golfer in the modern era to win three Olympic medals. This victory also earned Ko a spot in the LPGA Hall of Fame.
