Los Angeles, Apr 22 (PTI) Indian golfer Aditi Ashok made her worst start of the season as she carded 6-over 77 in the first round of the DIO Implant LA Open here.
Aditi, who has been having a decent season so far, had three double bogeys, a bogey and just one birdie. She was lying way down on the leader board on a breezy day at the Wilshire Country Club.
