Bengaluru: For most athletes, the Olympics are the highlight of the years of blood, sweat and tears.
However, for professionals in some disciplines, especially golfers, there is no time to enjoy victory or reflect on the opportunity that is missed, the next event is on them in the blink of an eye.
The Ace Golfer Indian Aditi Ashok, who missed the Olympic medal with one punch in Tokyo last week, had to put disappointment behind him and started again from Trust Golf Women Scottish open in Dumbarnie Links on Thursday on Thursday.
The 23-year-old Bengalurean spoke to Ti on the evening of $ 1.5 million LPGA and let coisscticated events.
Quotes: What is taught by your Olympic experience that is different from whatever you might take on a tour? It’s more about playing on the stage that is so big.
I have been in Top-5, Top-10 in LPGA and I have won it to leave and no one has as follows or atmosphere.
There are so many things riding your performance.
Playing on the stage that is so big and in such a position, trying to compete with the best golfers in the world, it is a new experience.
I can’t say what I learned from him, but it was definitely the first and who had given me trust in my game.
With so little time settlement between tournaments, how big is the challenge to process what happens in Tokyo? This is a bit of a challenge because of the effect of the ripple owned performance.
It’s not like we finish the tournament on Sunday, and you can start fresh on Monday.
This is a completely different situation in the sense that, even though I finished the fourth, so many people watched on the last day, so many people covered it, a big personality like the President and Prime Minister and even tweeted on social media.
So, the effect is very large so that it turns on a few days longer than the regular tournament.
And this, with me just lost winning a medal.
This is a challenge to overcome it.
Now, my mindset is that I returned to the tour and last week last week, and now I’m back and trying to get a better position, a better ranking point for CME and this is just the second event to be taken into account either let and LPGA.
It was another bonus where I played well, and it was taken into account on both tours.
I thought about what it meant this week and didn’t think of last week.
Aditi Ashok (Photo of PTI) Will you say that a lack of length from Tee puts more pressure on your strength, a short game? Yes.
The closer you about holes are always a big factor in making birdies.
Hitting hybrids to 5-6 green every day itself puts you under pressure.
You see it doesn’t festify the 5-6 holes and you see not dropping a shot.
Yes, the short game is indeed a little stress.
That doesn’t mean I waste shot trying to save par, but it’s just difficult to make birdie opportunities.
Also because of Covid, I don’t think there are other things that have influenced me physically.
But when I returned to LPGA, some of the first events returned, I could feel the difference in strength, and differences in the environment too.
This is more specific to covid.
With an increase in expectations after your Tokyo performance, will it put pressure on you to meet them? Not also, I have my own purpose and bother what the game is needed to compete at various levels of tournaments.
I still have a personal purpose and things I want to achieve, whether it is with my physical fitness or with golf or driving me, because I have obviously struggled by losing a few yards with my drive with all that, in terms of the game, in terms of game, hope is not a problem.
Because I have a good nuance where my game is and I know what needs to be done to compete in LPGA and what is needed to win in LPGA.
But I think it brings more hope for Paris.
The 41st finishing in Rio, no one expects a lot from me in Tokyo, but now I will go to the next Olympics after finishing the fourth time before.
I think the next time the Olympics appear, there will definitely be more hope and I have to find out how to handle them.
