Impressive finish by Aditi

Oneida (USA), Aditi Ashok carded a three-under 69 in the final round to finish tied 28th at the inaugural Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic. The 19-year-old finished with an 11-under 277 for her third straight finish between 25th and 30th places. She has now made eight cuts in 10 starts, including two Majors, and is all set for the US Open, which starts on Thursday.
Meanwhile, after a 2-under 70, Australian Katherine Kirk walked away with her third LPGA Tour victory. Kirk birdied the 72nd hole to finish at 22-under, the lowest four-round tournament total in her career.
14-year-old becomes youngest Tour winner
A 14-year-old amateur from Thailand won on the Ladies European Tour on Sunday, supplanting Lydia Ko as the youngest champion on the circuit. Atthaya Thitikul, aged 14 years, four months and 19 days, clinched a two-stroke victory at the Ladies European Thailand Championship at Phoenix Country Club in Pattaya.
New Zealander Ko held the previous record as the youngest winner on the tour, after claiming the 2013 New Zealand Open at the age of 15 years, nine months and 17 days.
Thitikul said her caddie had kept her calm during the final round.
“I did not look nervous, but of course I felt nerves on the first tee and on the first hole,” she said after finishing at five-under 283. “My family do not play golf. When I was younger, aged six, my father told me to play sport and he offered tennis or golf and I watched golf on TV and I liked it.”
