Aditi Ashok dominated the Ladies European Tour (LET) field, winning the Kenya Ladies Open by nine shots. The Indian golfer bagged her fourth LET title on Sunday (February 5) after dominating the finale.

This is her first LET title since winning the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi in 2017. She carded a finale with a score of 67-70-69-74 and finished with a score of 12-under 280 at par-73 at the Vipingo Ridges. The golfer turned in one of the most dominating matches of her career.

Aditi, who now mostly plays on the ladies' PGA Tour, said her hard work pays off. Speaking at the winner's conference, the Bangalore-born star said:

"It has been a great week, it's proof to myself that my off-season and hard work has had off."

Aditi's father, Ashok, served as her caddie, which helped her in the game. She said:

"It was good to have my dad on the bag, three of my wins have been with him caddying, but not just him there's my mum back home and I have worked a lot with my coach and my fitness team."

Aditi's parents have usually served as her caddie. During the Rio Olympics, her father was holding her bag, while at the Tokyo Olympics, her mother stood by her side to help her.
