Indian Golfer Aditi Ashok is on the verge of history at the Asian Games.
Aditi is the favourite to win the Gold medal in the women's individual event after an exceptional showing in Round 3, where she went 11 under par, to go top of the leaderboard.
With only the last round left, the 25-year-old has opened a massive 7 shot lead over second-placed Arpichaya Yubol.
Yubol was the leader at the start of Round 3, while Aditi (T2) was tied for the second position. However, the Indian golfer raced ahead of the pack in stunning fashion.
Aditi's brilliance also propelled India to the top of the team event in the women's category going into the last round, even as her compatriots Pranavi Sharath (11) and Avani Prashanth (T19) are way behind on the leaderboard.
A decent outing in the final round on Sunday should at least see Aditi win her first Gold medal for the country at the continental multi-sport event. She had narrowly missed out on a medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, where she finished 4th in the standings.
A big round awaits on Sunday!
