Former champion Aditi Ashok on Wednesday pulled out of the women's Indian Open golf tournament scheduled to be held from October 18 to 21 at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram. Aditi would be traveling to China to participating in the Buick LPGA which will clash with the Indian Open.

Aditi Ashok has announced that she has decided not to participate in the Women’s Indian Open on her Twitter page. The 20-year-old rising Golf sensation from Bengaluru has decided to play at the Buick LPGA instead. The Buick LPGA is a co-sanctioned event by the China Golf Association, the LPGA and the CLPGA and is held on the same dates of the Indian Open in Shanghai, China. 

"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 BUICK LPGA during the same week is important to me. As a past champion, it wasn't easy to make this decision but I look forward to playing many more Indian Opens in the coming years." 

The 12th edition of the Women's Indian Open is set to be the richest with the winner claiming prize money of USD 75,000 (INR 54,46,125.00) and Aditi hopes it will be another successful edition this year.

"Clearly, the increase in prize money and the live TV reflects how much the tournament has evolved over the years and I hope it continues to grow from strength to strength. 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.
