Diksha continues hot streak with top-12 finish in Czech Open

Beroun (Czech Republic): India's Diksha Dagar continued to build momentum on the Ladies European Tour with another strong finish, carding a final-round four-under 68 to secure a tied-12th place at the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open, while compatriots Pranavi Urs and Vani Kapoor also produced encouraging performances in Beroun.

Backed by Hero, Diksha finished the week at 13-under 203, capping another impressive outing after her tied-third finish at last week's Dutch Ladies Open. The consistent run underlines the left-hander's growing confidence as she heads into the next stretch of the European season.

Diksha's closing round featured five birdies, including a spectacular eagle on the par-five 18th that lifted her into the top 12. Although she began the final day within touching distance of the leaders, a few missed opportunities in the middle of the round prevented a stronger challenge. Nevertheless, another high finish adds valuable points to her LET campaign.

India also drew plenty of positives from Pranavi Urs, who produced one of the finest rounds of the day. Starting on the 10th tee, Pranavi shot a five-under 67, highlighted by a stunning inward nine of six-under 30 that included an eagle and four birdies. Her late surge saw her climb to tied-24th, reflecting the attacking golf that has marked her season.

Vani Kapoor signed off with a one-under 71 to finish tied-49th. Her steady week, following rounds of 68 and 70, offered further encouragement as she continues to regain rhythm on the LET.

The other Indians in the field—Avani Prashanth, Ridhima Dilawari and Hitaashee Bakshi—missed the cut in the low-scoring tournament.

The title, meanwhile, went to Finland's Noora Komulainen, who finally captured her maiden Ladies European Tour crown after nearly 14 years on the circuit and in her 199th LET start.
