LONDON: Indian golfer Aditi Ashok opened the women's British Open with a steady one-under 71 to lie tied 22nd at the challenging Carnoustie Links here. Aditi, who finished fourth at the Tokyo Olympics, scored four birdies against three bogeys and three of those birdies came in a fine stretch between 10th and 14th. The Indian is four shots behind the three co-leaders — World No. 1 and Olympic gold medallist Nelly Korda, Korean Sei Young Kim and Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom. The trio produced a matching five-under 67 each in the opening round. Aditi, who qualified for her 19th Major through the Final Qualifying at Panmure Golf Club, said she kept her composure to see through the opening round. IANS
