Aditi Ashok finishes T-55th in Arkansas

Aditi Ashok carded a modest two-under 69 to finish Tied 55th at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship here.

Aditi, who began the week strongly with a seven-under 64 that gave her a Tied-2nd place, suffered on account of a erratic second round, where she shot five-over 76 to end with a total of four-under 209.

Nasa Hataoka, 19, made four birdies in a near flawless front nine to build a five stroke lead and cruised to her first career win with a eight-under 63 yesterday. She had a three-day score of 21-under.

Austin Ernst finished second at 15-under while six players tied for third at 13-under including Thompson and Lee, who were paired with Hataoka.
