Aditi Ashok's biggest gain this week was that she went bogey free.

Indian golfer Aditi Ashok completed a bogey-free week with a final round of three-under 68 to finish tied 18th at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.

Aditi, who carded 66 and 67 on the first two days of the tournament, finished with a total of 12-under 201, her best finish this season.

Aditi’s biggest gain this week was that she went bogey free and that should improve her confidence ahead of the second half of the season, which also includes two more Majors.

Meanwhile, Anirban Lahiri carded a three-under 69 on the final day, his third round in the 60s this week, to finish Tied 42 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament. Lahiri’s rounds of 69, 68, 72 and 69 gave him a four-day aggregate of 10-under 278.

In his final round, Lahiri hit 10 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens in regulation. His first birdie came on the 393-yard par-4 third hole, where he reached the green in two and sunk a 16-foot putt for birdie.

He added a second birdie on Par-3 fifth, but gave back one shot on the eighth as he turned in one-under. On the back nine, he bogeyed 12th and was back to even par for the day.

He birdied Par-5 14th hole and again had a fine tee shot on Par-3 15th for another birdie. A 303 yard drive on the 577-yard par-5 17th saw Lahiri chip his third shot to seven feet from where he rolled in his birdie to finish at three-under 69.
