This week Diksha, a two-time winner on the LET, has been named captain with her teammates being Moa Folke of Sweden and two Chinese players Xinyu Cao and Shaoyun Ding
Diksha Dagar, who has one win and five Top-10s this season is third on the LET Order of Merit, is also aiming to become the first Indian woman to win the Merit list in Europe.
Diksha Dagar held the overnight lead but didn’t get off to the best start with a bogey on the first at Dromoland Castle. However, she soon found a rhythm rolling in back-to-back birdies on five and six before another dropped shot on 14.
Diksha Dagar fired an opening round of 65 (-7) to set the pace on the first day of the Women’s Irish Open at Dromoland Castle. The other Indians had mixed luck. Ridhima Dilawari shot even par 72 and was T-47 and was the second-best Indian after Diksha.
