Aditi Ashok, Nishtha Madan to lead Indian challenge at Gainbridge LPGA

Aditi Ashok is all set to compete in the star-studded LPGA event when she tees up at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio on Thursday.

Aditi, who is a regular on the LPGA tour, is all charged up to make the most out of playing in her first event of 2022.

The five-time professional tour winner Aditi is seeking her maiden win on the LPGA Tour as her last worldwide title was at Ladies European Tour in the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in 2017.

The former top-ranked Indian amateur, Nishtha Madan, will join Aditi as the second Indian at the LPGA Tour's event.
