Indian men's 4*400 qualification race is there today.... India seasons best is in top 3

World No 1 Nelly Korda is comfortably ahead after a superb -9 par in Round 2 and should win the gold. Aditi Ashok has 2 shot lead but has players like World No 11 Lydia Ko trailing her. I hope she nerves of steel in Round 4.
I thought with 2 bogeys Round 3 would come back to bite her like in Rio but she held on.  Fingers crossed!!

There is a slight possibility that it may be converted to a 54 hole tournament due to inclement weather tomorrow. Will have to see what happens.

I am hoping for a gold medal finish for Aditi Ashok tomorrow. Let's see.

 

Pressure will be on Nelly Korda.

There will be a lot of pressure on Aditi as well I guess. A medal for India in Golf will be huge.
