Siuntio (Finland), June 30 (Ians) A week after winning her second Ladies European Tour title, it was not the best of starts for India’s Diksha Dagar even as her fellow Indians had decent starts at the Ladies Open by Pickala Rock Resort, here. It was a day hindered by not one, but two storm delays and it took a toll on many of the players.
Diksha, who had 13 birdies and an eagle last week had no birdies in her round of 74 and will need a solid second round to make the cut.
Among other Indians, Pranavi Urs playing on a sponsor’s exemption shot even par 72 and was T-55 as was Vani Kapoor. Amandeep Drall and Ridhima Dilawari (73) were T-78th while Tvesa Malik and Diksha with 74 each were T-90. But with the scoreboard rather tight, a good round could see the Indians make the cut.
Pranavi and Vani were the best Indians.

Czechia, June 24 (Ians) Diksha Dagar shot a round of 3-under 69 to be tied second in the Czech Ladies Open in Beroun and was just one stroke behind the leader, Ana Dawson who carded a 68 that had two eagles and a triple bogey.
Diksha, who has been contending often in the last few weeks, played alongside Dawson, the first Isle of Man player to compete on the Ladies European Tour.
Diksha was tied second but the rest of the Indians are far behind. Ridhima Dilawari and Amandeep Drall with 74 each were at T-46th, while Pranavi (75) was T-61 and Vani Kapoor (76) was T-88.
