KAWAGOE, Japan – India’s Aditi Ashok took a moment to wipe tears from her eyes before making her way through the gauntlet, the twisting area where players come to talk to the media.
Even at 23, Ashok is comfortable giving interviews, but following the final round at the Olympic women's golf competition there were so many emotions.
She’d finished with a 68 for a 15-under total, which was one shot outside a spot on the podium. It was an impressive performance following an equally impressive outing at the 2016 Games, but Ashok had no interest in moral victories.
