FYI - Golf
A par score in golf is achieved based on the number of shots made to pocket the ball. Every hole has a designated number of shots for a par score. If it's a Par-4 hole, for example, then the golfer needs to pocket the ball in four shots starting with the tee shot to achieve a par score. If it's done in a shot less, it's called a Birdie, two shots less is an Eagle. If the golfer takes more shots than the designated par on the hole, then it's a bogey, double bogey or worse.
Aditi slips to the third position...
Early days in Round 4, but all par scores in the first four holes for Aditi. The first three holes were Par-4 and the fourth Par-3. She slips to the third position. Started the day at No. 2.
