Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: You just finished your final round in the AIG Women's Open Women's Open, how much have you enjoyed this week and playing at Carnoustie?

ADITI ASHOK: I think it's been one of the greatest experiences for me, and definitely one of my favourite Open venues for sure now and I think the first day, obviously I Monday qualified to get here, so to get here Tuesday, it was a pleasure to play as I golf course. Happy to get four more rounds here and I think I did okay.

THE MODERATOR: How is links golf different to the courses would you normally play?

ADITI ASHOK: I think it's really demanding on your whole golf game. You can have some weeks some parts of your game are not working but you can kind of get through the week whereas here it tests every part of your game and you have to be sharp with everything, so yeah.

THE MODERATOR: Just overall, the experience of playing in a major, how much is that useful for your own career development and looking to the future?

ADITI ASHOK: Yeah, definitely. I think majors are something where you only get to play five majors a year and so the experience is huge for me, and obviously this year I haven't had the best year, so making a cut at a major gives me confidence. I know my game is there. Just have to put four rounds together.

THE MODERATOR: Coming out of the Olympics, it's been a great time for you, how much have you enjoyed it?

ADITI ASHOK: Yeah, for sure, Olympics, I think I exceeded my expectations for sure ski think what it did for golf back home was a huge bonus, which I didn't go in expecting that but I think it's all welcome for my side.
