India’s Arjun Atwal has registered a score of one-under 70 to finish Tied-23rd at the ongoing inaugural 3M Open on Sunday. Meanwhile, Aditi Ashok continued her good run of form as he carded an impressive six-under 66 to finish Tied-40th in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in the United States.

Indian golfer Arjun Atwal became the first Monday qualifier to win an event on the PGA Tour when he clinched the 2010 Wyndham Championship. The 46-year-old veteran was three shots off the lead after the third round as he failed in his bid to end a long trophy drought by carding a one-under 70 to finish Tied-23rd on the final day of the inaugural 3M Open on Sunday.

Atwal, who started the day three shots off leader Matt Wolff, made his way to a score of 13-under and his T-23rd was his best finish of the season. The 20-year-old Wolff, who was playing only his third event as a pro, managed to pull off a stunning win at the inaugural tournament. 

“Well, it was nice of the guys at John Deere (Classic) to give me an invite. That means I don’t have to Monday qualify or it would have been a long drive,” At Walmart was quoted as saying by PTI sources. 

Meanwhile, amongst the Indian women golfers, Aditi Ashok continued her good run on the green as she turned in with a score of six-under 66 to finish Tied-40th in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in Wisconsin. It was Aditi’s sixth score in the 60s in her last seven rounds.
