Aditi Ashok triumphed at the 2023 Magical Kenya Ladies Open winning the tournament by nine shots to secure her fourth Ladies European Tour title.

The two-time Olympian produced the wire-to-wire victory at Vipingo Ridge where a round of 74 on the final day was enough for the win.

It was a tough afternoon for the 24-year-old as she made three bogeys and two birdies on day four, but Ashok had put in the hard work in earlier in the week to win.    

“It has been a great week, it’s proof to myself that my off-season and hard work has paid off,” said Ashok.

“It’s definitely different and part of the experience of playing in Kenya. It was cool to see giraffes — I don’t think I’ve ever seen them that close before.”

It is Ashok’s first trip to the winner’s circle on the LET since the 2017 Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi and she paid tribute to father Gudlamani, who was on the bag once again, as well as to her team back at home.

She added: “It was good to have my dad on the bag — three of my wins have been with him caddieing, but not just him there’s my mum back home and I have worked a lot with my coach and my fitness team.

“All of us have put in a lot of work over two months just to get back to my original strength level and this is the first week I’ve felt like I’ve been back to where I was a couple of years ago which is pretty good.”

England’s Alice Hewson and Thailand’s April Angurasaranee finished in a tie for second place on three-under-par in the LET season-opener.
