Aditi Ashok has jumped 66 spots to rise to a career-best 132nd in the latest world rankings for womens golf, released on Monday. It continues her phenomenal rise since the start of the year, when she was ranked 468, and increases her chances of being named the Ladies European Tours Rookie of the Year going into the Final Stage LPGA qualifying event later this week.Aditi, who registered back-to-back titles on the Ladies European Tour with wins in the Indian Open as well as the Qatar Open on Sunday, only turned pro in January 2016. Its been a terrific year for her, says Nonita Lall Qureishi, the six-time winner of the All-India Open. Thanks to Aditi, the Indian womens tour has really come of age.?Qureishi told ESPN how she helped Aditi make a crucial decision when the rookie was at a crossroads in 2015.Last year, we were chatting at the (British) Open, and she had just received an offer from Stanford University to join them on a golf scholarship. Around the same time, she had also qualified through the Ladies European Tour school. I think that was the only time she was a little confused about what would be better for her, Qureishi, an Arjuna Awardee, said.?So I told her that it just didnt make any sense to refuse an opportunity to play professional golf when it was right there. She decided to go professional, and if she has a good week in the qualifying school in Florida, we might see her on the LPGA Tour soon, she added.It seems the conversation paid off.A measure of how good her year has been is that the next-best Indian golfer in the world rankings is Vani Kapoor, at 702nd. Going into her maiden year as a pro, Aditi had already set a unique record as the only Indian to have competed at the Asian Youth Games, the youth Olympics as well as the Asian Games, all between 2013 and 2014.She added to this with an appearance at the 2016 Olympics, where she was tied-8th after registering successive scores 3-under 68 in the first two rounds, but finished tied-41st in a field where she was one of the youngest.Aditi has won two of the events on the Ladies European Tour, and finished in the top-ten in three other events. She also competed in the womens British Open in 2016.Speaking to ESPN after her win in the Indian open, Aditi had credited her participation in the Rio Olympics for her increased confidence and subsequent results.The Olympics definitely added to my confidence as I played with the best players in the world and I was in the top three after two rounds. My performance has been consistent and getting better with every event I play, Aditi had said. I have had four consecutive top tens on the LET so far and all this adds to my confidence, especially with a win last week (in the Indian Open).Qureishi, while calling Aditis achievement phenomenal, also compared the 18-year-olds achievement to that of one of the greatest golfers ever, Tiger Woods.I personally dont think age is a factor in golf. If you look at someone like Tiger Woods, he too turned pro at about the same age. The age becomes irrelevant if the time frame of playing golf is correct. Aditi has been playing since she was a really young kid. Shes had plenty of experience, and shes always been very clear about what she has wanted from professional golf, she said.

Samuel Deduno (6-4) allowed two runs, four hits and five walks over seven innings while striking out five on the anniversary of his first big league victory. The 30-year-old right-hander faced a lineup missing cleanup hitter Josh Hamilton because of stiffness in his right ankle. Casey Fien gave up two hits in the eighth and was replaced by All-Star closer Glen Perkins. Pinch-hitter Collin Cowgill greeted the left-hander with an RBI single, and Iannetta drove the next pitch on a high arc toward the left-field fence, where Thomas made a leaping grab. Perkins escaped with his 24th save in 26 chances, extending his scoreless streak to 19 1-3 innings after striking out Albert Pujols and Howie Kendrick in the ninth with two on.

Deduno walked his first two batters, both advanced on a hit-and-run groundout by Pujols, and Howie Kendrick drove in Shuck with a sacrifice fly. Minnesota took a 2-1 lead in the second on two-out RBI doubles by Thomas and Hicks, the eighth and ninth hitters, but the Angels tied it in the third with an RBI single by Mike Trout that extended his career-best hitting streak to 14 games. NOTES: Blanton, pitching for the first time since his angry dugout confrontation with Iannetta and pitching coach Mike Butcher during a 4-3 loss in Seattle on July 14, had Hank Conger as his batterymate this time.
