Aditi Ashok likely to make cut at Chevron Classic
The Woodlands (US), Apr 26 (PTI) Indian golfer Aditi Ashok endured a difficult second day at the Chevron Championship here as she finished with a round of two-over par 74.
Put alongside her first round even par 72, she was two-over for 36 holes and on the cut line.
Though there are nine players yet to finish the second round, Aditi should make the cut on the line.
Recent Epson Tour graduate Yan Liu held onto the top spot at the end of the second round as Haeran Ryu slipped down the order to tied sixth.
Yan Liu played even par for the day as she made three bogeys and a rare albatross on the front nine. On the back nine Liu dropped a bogey on the 17th and picked a birdie on the 18th.
Lindy Duncan moved up 32 places with a round of 5 under par to sit at tied second alongside Sarah Schmelzel, Mao Saigo and Hyo Joo Kim.
Top-ranked Nelly Korda rallied late in the afternoon to make the cut in her title defence, following an opening 77 with a 68. She won last year at The Club at Carlton Woods for the last of her record-tying five straight victories.
Aditi had two birdies and four bogeys. She started her round with bogeys on the first and second holes and then a birdie on the eighth hole. On the back nine she had a bogey on the 11th and 13th holes and a birdie on the 12th hole for a total of 74.
So far in 2025, Aditi has made the cut in two of the three events she has played, and her best finish for the year was a tied 34th at the Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands.

IND A vs ENG Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test: Rain halts play in Northampton after India A lose Abhimanyu Easwaran and Yashasvi Jaiswal early vs England Lions
India A vs England Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test: KL Rahul will turn out for India 'A' in their second red-ball gam... Read More India A vs England Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test: KL Rahul will turn out for India 'A' in their second red-ball game against England Lions, starting in Northampton on June 6. KL Rahul had travelled to England ahead of the main Indian squad to acclimatise to the conditions before the five-Test series. KL Rahul had requested the BCCI to allow him to participate in the second India A game against England Lions. It's not the first time that Rahul, now the side's senior most batter with 58 caps, after the retirements of stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will be turning out for India 'A' ahead of an important overseas Test tour. Last year, shortly after India lost the third Test to New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and suffered an unprecedented 3-0 series defeat at home, Rahul and wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel flew to Melbourne to turn out for India 'A' in their red-ball game against Australia 'A' at the MCG ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. With Rahul having scored two centuries as an opener on Test tours of England, his experience at the top will be very vital for India to navigate the challenge of facing the moving ball in the initial stage of an innings and then set a total to challenge the ultra-attacking batting style of the Ben Stokes-led side. Squads England Lions Squad: Tom Haines, Ben McKinney, Emilio Gay, Max Holden, James Rew(w/c), Jordan Cox, Chris Woakes, Josh Tongue, Ajeet Dale, Farhan Ahmed, Rocky Flintoff, Edward Jack, George Hill India A: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran(c), Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur, Harsh Dubey, Anshul Kamboj, Harshit Rana, Mukesh Kumar, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Khaleel Ahmed, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Deep, Manav Suthar, Tanush Kotian, Ruturaj Gaikwad Read Less
