ADITI IS THE TOAST INDIAN CONTINGENT, FINISHES EIGHTH, NALINI TOP INDIAN PRO AT TIED 33RD

December 2, 2012
Gurgaon, December 2: Aditi Ashok, the 14-year-old Indian amateur, who won everybody’s admiration this week, ended as the top Indian in the sixth edition of the Hero Women’s Indian Open at the DLF Golf and Country Club. The teenager, who has been dominating the amateur circuit, shot an even par final round to finish at one-under 215 and in tied eighth place.
The top Indian pro was Nalini Singh Siwach who maintained her overnight position of tied 33rd as she carded two-over 74 and finished at five-over 221.
“This was an amazing experience, something that I will cherish,” said an excited Aditi, who plays the All India juniors next week and then defends her All India Ladies title in Kolkata the following week. “Playing with top stars from Europe and Asia and finishing in top-10 was almost like a dream.”
On her final round, Aditi added, “I dropped an early bogey with a three-putt, but got a birdie on fifth. Then again there was a bogey on sixth. On the back nine, I had three birdies and two bogeys, one of them on par-5 14th, which was slightly painful. Overall I am happy with the way I played.”
Nalini (73-74-74) said, “I could have done better, but this will give me some confidence as I leave for Morocco to play in the Ladies European tour Q-School. There were patches when I felt I dropped some shots, which could have been saved, but it was a great experience which will come useful.”
Asked about her final round, Nalini said, “The patch between fourth and seventh was rather disappointing. I dropped three bogeys. The back nine was more steady with one bogey on 13th and one birdie on 15th.” Overall she had two birdies and four bogeys.
Professionals Sharmila Nicollet (73-76-76) and Vani Kapoor (75-75-75) and amateur Gurbani Singh (76-73-76) were all tied for 45th place, while amateur Millie Saroha (76-76-81) was tied 62nd.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
