Dundonald Links, Scotland: Diksha Dagar compiled one-over 73 in the second round and was the only Indian to make the cut at the 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open. With rounds 74-73 she is 3-over and tied 35th with two more rounds to go.
Pranavi Urs (84-71) with a 13-shot difference between her rounds was 11-over and missed the cut as did Avani Prashanth (80-77).
The cut fell at +6 with 65 players making it through to the weekend in Scotland.
Diksha, supported by Hero, had three birdies on the second, seventh and the 14th but also dropped shots on the third, sixth, 13th and the 15th.
Currently inside Top-10 of the LET Order of Merit, Diksha needs a strong result to make it to the AIG Women’s Open, a Major for women next week.
Korea’s Jenny Shin picked up where she left off a day earlier and put on an excellent performance to hold a five-stroke lead at the midway mark. Shin, who has one LPGA Tour title to her name, opened with a 66 (-6) in Scotland and followed it up with a 67 (-5) on day two at Dundonald Links.
The 33-year-old began her day with a bogey but that was the only blemish on her scorecard as she bounced back immediately with a birdie at the second hole.
She added another birdie on the fifth and eighth holes before back-to-back birdies on 11 and 12, and she finished with a birdie at the last to lead with a score of 11-under-par.
Germany’s Esther Henseleit is in solo second place on six-under-par after a bogey-free round of 68 (-4), which included an eagle and two birdies, on day two in Scotland.
Korea’s A Lim Kim is in outright third place on -5 after an even par round which included two birdies and two bogeys.
Four players are in a share of fourth place with Thai duo Pajaree Anannarukarn and Patty Tavatanakit alongside Japan’s Erika Hara and 2024 champion Lauren Coughlin.
LET winner Anannarukarn had four birdies and one bogey on her scorecard during her round of 69 (-3).
