India’s No 1 golfer had to settle for silver after giving up a seven-shot lead.
HANGZHOU: Indian No 1 Aditi Ashok gave up a seven-shot lead in a final-day meltdown to lose her gold medal chance at the Asian Games golf today, allowing world No 206 Arpichaya Yubol to claim an unlikely title for Thailand.
“I wasn’t inconsistent like today,” she said of the Olympics, where New Zealand’s former world No 1 Lydia Ko snatched the bronze from her grasp. The stocky Thai curled in a long birdie putt on the 17th to take a two-stroke cushion into the last hole, then tapped in for par for the biggest win of her career.South Korea took silver and China bronze.
There was another surprise winner in the men’s event, with Hong Kong’s Taichi Kho shooting a final round 69 to hold off South Korean Im Jung-sae by a stroke with a 27-under par total of 261.
