Ping Junior Solheim Cup: Diksha Dagar led an excellent final round performance from the Indian trio as all of them finished in the Top-20 at the Dutch Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour. The 24-year-old, who has been on the Ladies European Tour since 2019, produced steady rounds of 71-70-71 for 4-under 212 and finished Tied-ninth. It was her fourth Top-10 and fifth in Top-11 finish of the season on LET.

Behind her were rookies Hitaashee Bakshi (71-73-69) at Tied-12 and Avani Prashanth (77-70-67) at T-19. England’s Mimi Rhodes continued her sensational rookie season and claimed her third LET title at the Dutch Ladies Open. She was two shots clear of the field at Goyer Golf & Country Club.

Diksha bogeyed once on the front nine but flourished on the back as she birdied the 10th, 12th and the 18th. In between, she dropped a bogey on the 16th. She plans to get at least one win ahead of her home event, the Indian Open, which is one of her big targets.
