Despite a good start, Aditi Ashok dropped a double bogey and two bogeys in her last five holes to finish one-under 71 and in tied 47th place at the LOTTE Championship, PTI reported.
At one stage, Aditi was five-under through 13 holes, before she suffered in the closing stages of a water-logged opening day here.
Aditi, who played her first Major of the season, ANA Inspiration, birdied first, third, fifth, ninth and 13th to get to five-under. That included birdies on each of the first three Par-5s, but in conditions that were increasingly becoming difficult, she double bogeyed the Par-5 14th, bogeyed 16th and 18th for a disappointing finish.
The Indian is playing her first two rounds with Belen Mozo, who she played with enroute to her first LET win at Hero Indian Open last year in India, and American Jaya Marie Green.
Mi Hyang Lee and Paula Creamer are tied at matching 6- under-par 66s at the top of the leaderboard while five golfers are tied for second at 5-under.
