Diksha has been having a great season and will be looking to carry on the momentum after Top-10 finishes in her last two starts - T-9 at the SA Women's Open and T-8 at the Joburg Open. Before that, she was T-11 at the NSW Open in Australia, and at the start of the season, she was runner-up at the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco. Currently fifth on the LET Order of Merit, Diksha in six starts has had three Top-10s and missed just one cut.

Good to see three Indian players made the cut. The experience at this level is invaluable for Pranavi and Avani. The future looks bright for Indian women's golf.

Lauren Coughlin's win was impressive, but the story here is the growing Indian contingent. Diksha Dagar's consistency on the LET is remarkable. Fifth on the Order of Merit is no small feat!

Respectfully, the final round scoring was a bit disappointing. Aditi is capable of so much more. Hope she works on converting those birdie chances. We know she has the game to win.
