In the second round of the five-round 90-hole Final Stage of the Qualifying Tournament, Aditi playing at Hills Course had four birdies including one on the closing 18th hole to finish at 70. She birdied the third, 11th, 12th and 18th and dropped shots on seventh and 17th. In the first round she had six birdies against five bogeys for the 73. This week, Aditi Ashok has also got Terry McNamara on her bag as caddie. McNamara was the long-time caddie to Annika Sorenstam and now caddies for Spain’s Carlota Ciganda. Two-time Solheim Cup member Mel Reid (64) and 17-year-old rising star from Japan Nasa Hataoka (65) share the 36-hole lead at 11-under, 133.
