Indian sports wrap, May 9: Aditi Ashok struggles in first round at Mizuho Americas Open
GOLF Aditi Ashok struggles in the first round at Mizuho Indian golfer Aditi Ashok endured a rough start at the Mizuho Americas Open, shooting a five-over 77 to finish T-113 after the opening round at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, USA. Her round included two birdies, five bogeys, and a costly double bogey, leaving her in need of a strong second round to make the cut. Starting on the front nine, Aditi made three bogeys, on the first, second and eighth holes respectively. On the back nine, she dropped another shot on 11th hole before making a birdie on the 12th hole. The 13th hole was a double bogey, the 15th a birdie and the 16th another bogey. In 2025, Aditi has made cut at four of the five events she has played. She missed the cut at the Ford Championship. At the start of the week Aditi was ranked 95th in the CME rankings. World number two Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand leads after the first day as she fired a round of 64. Jeeno had a bogey free round with eight birdies. Celine Boutier of France and Hye-Jin Choi are tied second with 6-under 66 each. The players share the Tied-fourth spot at 5-under 67. - PTI Rough start for Veer Ahlawat on DP World Tour Playing in his first event in almost six weeks, India's Veer Ahlawat endured a rough start with a 4-over 75 for a tied 133rd place at the Turkish Airlines Open, which has made a return to the DP World Tour. Ahlawat had just two birdies against six bogeys in the opening round and is the only Indian playing this week as Shubhankar Sharma skipped the event. In eight starts this season, Ahlawat has made five cuts with a best of T-17 in his home event, the Hero Indian Open in March. Robin Williams shot a brilliant bogey-free round of 65 to take a share of the lead after round one. The 23-year-old South African teed off in the last group at Regnum Carya, and with Germany's Tiger Christensen and Martin Couvra of France, he set the target at six under par 65.

Esports will be an official medal sport at the 2026 Asian Games, and the first-ever Olympic Esports Games is scheduled to start in 2027. Before its inclusion in KIYG 2025, host Bihar had organised the Bihar State Esports Open Championship and the Bihar Inter School and College Esports Championship over the past year. States like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Nagaland have also taken proactive steps to support and formalise grassroots esports programs. Esports competitions will be beld at the Patliputra Sports Complex on May 6 and 7, featuring popular titles such as Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), Street Fighter 6, Chess, and eFootball on both mobile and console. While BGMI remains the most popular esports title in India, Chess stands out as a particularly noteworthy addition to KIYG 2025. Once considered a purely traditional sport, it has increasingly found a home in the esports world, most recently as part of the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025, which boasts a prize pool of USD 1.5 million (Rs 12.6 crore) for the title. 'The inclusion of titles like BGMI, Street Fighter 6, Chess, and eFootball in the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 signals a big step forward for grassroots esports in India,' says Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming. 'It's encouraging to see esports standing shoulder to shoulder with traditional sports, and the addition of Chess - bridging classical and digital strategy shows how in tune this initiative is with global trends. But this isn't just about tournaments. 'It's about creating real opportunities to discover talent from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, places that have been overlooked for too long, thus building the foundation for a future where Indian gamers don't just participate, they dominate on the world stage.' -PTI SHOOTING Khelo India Youth Games: Rajasthan Air Pistol Mixed Team clinches first gold The Rajasthan team of Prachi and Mayank Choudhary clinched the first gold medal on offer in the Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG), beating Uttar Pradesh in the 10m air pistol mixed team final here on Monday.

GOLF Aditi Ashok shoots 66 and rises to tied-20th at Black Desert India's Aditi Ashok shot one of her best rounds of the season as she landed seven birdies against one bogey in a round of 6-under 66 that carried her up to the tied 20th place in the Black Desert Championship in Ivins, USA. With rounds of 69-71-66 she is 10-under and eight shots behind the leader, Haeran Ryu of Korea, who has shot 63-67-68 to be 18-under.

On the back nine Aditi birdied 11th and the 12th and dropped a shot on the 14th and finished with a birdie on the 18th. Aditi, who has been finding the fairways and the green regularly, needed 27 putts as against 31 on the second day. Ryu regained control of the Black Desert Championship by holing out for eagle on the 11th hole. Her 68 helped her maintain her two-shot lead in the LPGA Tour's return to Utah for the first time in more than 60 years. Ryu is trying to win a tournament for the seventh straight year, dating to when she was an 18-year-old on the Korea LPGA. Ryu shared the 54-hole lead at a major last week in the Chevron Championship before closing with a 76. Her biggest rival will be Ruoning Yin, the former Women's PGA champion who ran off 10 birdies for a 62, the best score of the tournament and enough to get within two shots.
