India's Aditi Ashok in action in the third round of women's golf on Friday, 6 August. AP
Golf
Mone Inami putts third straight birdie. Incredible play in this round by the Japanese.
Aditi shoots into the bunker in her first shot but her second shot is a really good one to setup a birdie putt. She does it and holds T3 along with Lydia Ko.
This is a proper nail-biter!
Masterclass indeed!
16 putts through 13 holes @aditigolf đł What a masterclass in hanging tough đđ». Time to light up the home stretch #TeamIndia #goforgold @OlympicGolf

Huge one for Aditi Ashok and she putts a birdie in hole 13. Lydia Ko also fires a birdie. Both are at T2 with -14.
USA's Nelly Korda restores her three-shot lead at the top with -17 with five holes to complete.
Golf
Japan's Mone Inami has moved to second spot with back-to-back birdies in the 12th and 13th holes. She's peaking at the right time.
Golf
Aditi holds with a par on hole 12 and she's tied second with Lydia Ko, Emily Pedersen and Mone Inami at -13.
Chance for Nelly Korda to putt a birdie but she shoots par and maintains a three-stroke lead.
Golf
Bogey for Aditi in hole 11 and this could be costly but Lydia Ko also goes over par. So both are at T3 at -13.
Pedersen is in second spot at -14 and Nelly Korda is in gold medal contention at -17 after 11 holes.
Aditi Ashok unravels physical, mental and technical side of golf
In our Firstpost Masterclass series last year, Aditi Ashok spoke to Tanuj Lakhina about her journey, challenges of a female golfer in India, the nitty gritties of golf from mental, physical and dietary perspective, before acknowledging she hopes her career leads to a revolution for women's golf in the country.
Golf
Aditi shoots a par on hole 10.
Nelly Korda has another birdie and she has a two-shot lead at the top. Lydia Ko off to a bad start but she did well to get out of it and a chance to shoot par but she misses it. A bogey for her.
So, Pederson, Aditi and Lydia are T2 at -14.
Golf
Oh no! Aditi's second shot goes into the heavy grass area. The par shot is a tough one and she misses it. She bogeyed on the same hole in the previous round and she does same in Round 4.
Nelly Korda putts her birdie so she's sole leader now.
Pedersen has a chance to join Lydia Ko at T2 but she couldn't putt a birdie. Just short.
Preview, Day 15: The Tokyo Olympics 2020 near its end and so does India's campaign as well. India could well finish on a high. On the penultimate day for Indians at Games, there is a possibility of at least two medals on Saturday and one on Sunday, in a sport that no one had ever thought about - golf.
At the end of round 3, India's Aditi Ashok was placed sole second on the leaderboard and in line for a medal after carding a three-under 68 in the third round.
With a storm forecast for the next two days, there is every possibility that she might just clinch the first ever Olympic medal in golf for India if she holds on or play does not happen because of weather.
The event will become a 54-hole affair if storm prevents play on Saturday and Sunday.
The second big event which Indians will be looking out for will be Bajrang Punia's bronze medal match who will decided only tomorrow. He will face one of the winners in the repechage round.
Bajrang has not been wrestling as per his standards in this competition thanks to an injury in his knee. His leg defence was exposed a number of times in the two matches he played. If he is able to cope with it and bring out his best, we may see him bringing the second medal in wrestling.
The only medal out of the seven boxers who went to Tokyo has come from Ravi Kumar. The four women wrestlers could not reach even the semis stage. In men, Deepak Punia managed to reach semis but returned with no medal. Wrestling fan now hope Bajrang is able to add more to the campaign.
In the evening, in the last even for India on the day, javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will be playing in the final. India fans are hoping for the first medal in athletics from Neeraj, who threw over 86 m to book the final berth.
India are sitting on five medals at the moment in the tally. If Bajrang and Neeraj are able to win one each, it will cross the London Games tally of 6.
