Diksha finishes T-7 in Swiss Ladies Open
Indian golfer Diksha Dagar continued her hot run this summer on the Ladies European Tour as she signed off from the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open at Tied-7.
Diksha fired a 4-under par 68 in the third and final round for a total of 10-under for her seventh Top-10 finish of the season, which has also fetched her a title.
After a sedate even par 35 for her front nine with one birdie and bogey each, she was on fire on the back nine with four birdies and no bogeys.
It also closed the gap between her and the top two on the Race to Costa Del Sol.
Diksha has been in excellent form for most of the season after a modest beginning to the year. She is now gunning for the LET title.
Among other Indians, Amandeep Drall (69-74-71) finished T-43, while Vani Kapoor had missed the cut.
