Ann Arbor (USA): Aditi Ashok had an eventful second round with no less than six birdies and four bogeys as she scored a fine two-under 70 to make the cut at the LPGA Volvik Championship Golf Championships here Friday. Her exploits of the day carried her up to tied 44th, up from overnight tied 56th at the Travis Pointe Country Club here.
Aditi, who shot 71 in the first round, had a far better day when the conditions were also somewhat better than the first. She found 11 fairways, one better than the previous day and had 14 greens in regulations as compared to 11 a day earlier.
Aditi had a rough bogey-bogey start but she quickly recovered and found her rhythm with four birdies in next six holes and turned in two-under 34.
At the top, Sung Hyun Park, whose nickname is ‘Shut Up and Attack’ carded a seven-under par, 65 to take a two-stroke lead into the weekend.
Lahiri disappoints
In Fortworth, Texas, golfer Anirban Lahiri was undone by an errant front-nine as he turned in a one-over 71 in the second round to miss the cut at the Dean & Deluca Invitational event on the PGA Tour here Friday. Lahiri, who had a disappointing six-over 76 on first day, was three-over 38 for the first nine and that killed his hopes of going into the weekend.
It marked the first time since 2014 that Lahiri had missed three cuts in a row and the first time since he became a member of the PGA Tour.
