Indian golfer Aditi Ashok qualified for the Women's British Open after carding a two-under 68 to grab the second place at the 18-hole qualifiers at Panmure Golf Club here.
The Indian star, who had the entire nation enthralled as she finished an agonising fourth at the Tokyo Olympics, was one of the two Indians vying for one of the 15 spots on offer.
The event will be played from August 19 to 22 at the Carnoustie Links. While Aditi, 23, was sole second, Tvesa Malik (73) ended T-29th and missed out grabbing one of the berths available for the Open.
The Open appearance extends Aditi's record of starts at majors to 19, up from 18 after the Amundi Evian Championship last month.
