However, it has to be said that she achieved what no one even imagined. Aditi’s performance gave a mighty scare to even the best female golfers who were competing against her. In order to understand how much Aditi has improved, one must know that the Indian golfer finished at the 41st spot in the Rio Olympics.

However, what she has achieved is something that no other Indian golfer has done in the past. Born on 29th March, 1998, Aditi started playing golf when she was just 5 years old.
Aditi gives a lot of her credit for her success to her father Ashok who was also her caddie in the Rio 2016 Olympics.
