Former champion Aditi Ashok Wednesday pulled out of the USD 500,000 Hero women's Indian Open golf tournament scheduled to be held from October 18 to 21 at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram. "It is with disappointment that I have decided to not play the Hero Women's Indian Open this year," Aditi wrote on her official Twitter page. "This would have been my 8th Indian Open in a row but right now playing the BUICKK LPGA during the same week is important to me. Best wishes to Hero Women's Indian Open, Ladies European Tour, Women's Golf Association of India, DLF Golf and Country Club for another successful edition," she wrote. Aditi had won the Hero Women's Indian Open and Qatar Ladies Open in 2016, besides clinching the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open last year.
