Chopping it up: Diksha's strings together another remarkable round at the Dutch Ladies Open
Indian golfers excel once more, as Diksha prepares for another impressive finish in the Dutch Ladies tournament
Hilversum, India's Diksha Dagar's playing some serious golf these days, and it's looking like another fantastic finish at the Dutch Ladies Open. Witness her impressive 2-under 70, landing her a tie for ninth place.
The golfer's knockout performance in the final six holes, with three birdies and a single bogey, put her at an impressive 3-under for the first two rounds. One more day to go, and she could snag an even better position!
Now, let's chat about the other Indians in the mix. Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour's No. 1, Hitaashee Bakshi, playing her first LET event outside India, has made a solid start. She shot a combined 71-73, leaving her with an even par score, tied for 26th position. Not too shabby, huh?
As for Avani Prashanth, she managed to improve by a whopping seven strokes in her second round. After a 77 on the first day, she poured in a 70 on day two, moving to be tied for 51st place.
Sadly, Tvesa Malik missed the cut, and Pranavi Urs withdrew after the first round due to an injury.
Diksha had a somewhat rocky start on the front nine, with two bogeys and a single birdie, but she turned things around with four birdies against one bogey on the back nine. Her ongoing LET season streak just keeps getting stronger!
Hitaashee, on the other hand, collected two birdies but also racked up three bogeys, one of them on the 18th hole.
Looking at the leaderboard, England's Mimi Rhodes, Spain's Nuria Iturrioz, and Italy's Alessia Nobilio have all grabbed the top spot with a score of 6-under par at the Goyer Golf & Country Club.
Rhodes, currently the Order of Merit leader on 1,046.88 points, showed off her impressive talent by securing six birdies. This impressive outing could earn her a third title win this rookie season – a phenomenal achievement for the 23-year-old!
Meanwhile, Nobilio carded a bogey-free round, sharing the lead with the other two. Impressive stuff!
Last but not least, Iturrioz stunned everybody with an incredible 6-under-par 66, capping off her round with five birdies in her last seven holes.
Luna Sobron Galmes delivered the biggest move of the day with a course-record of 65.
So, if you're following the Ladies European Tour, do keep an eye on these rising stars. Good luck to Diksha and the rest of the Indian players as they battle it out on the greens!
