Aditi Ashok, 23, might not be a household name or winner on the LPGA Tour quite yet. But back home in India, she's a top-ranked woman golfer, two-time Olympian and current second-place holder in Tokyo. In her first round of the women's golf tournament at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, No. 200-ranked Ashok maintained poise and consistency similar to that of No. 1-ranked Nelly Korda. After firing a four-under 67, one shot off the lead, Ashok found herself tied for second place with Korda heading into Thursday's second round at Kasumigaseki Country Club.
Five years ago, Ashok teed it up in Rio at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
