Indian golfer Diksha Dagar is superbly placed to aim for the top spot on the Ladies European Tour`s Order of Merit race -- also called Race to Costa Del So -- following her sublime run so far this season. Diksha continued her hot run this summer on the LET, signing off from the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open at tied-7th on Sunday. She fired a 4-under par 68 in the third and final round for a total of 10-under for her seventh top-10 finish of the season, which also includes a title. It also closed the gap between her and the top two on the Race to Costa Del Sol.
The 22-year-old Indian, who won the second title of her career on the LET Tour, is now third, but only a handful points behind second placed Ana Pelaez Trivino of Spain. Celine Boutier of France leads the race, and for Diksha to overtake her, the Indian will need a few more good results in the remaining five events, including the home event, the Hero Women`s Indian Open. "I am very confident, and I am playing well," said Diksha, who will take a break as the LET Tour is focused on the Solheim Cup this week. In 22 starts this season, Diksha has won one and been in the top-10 six times. Yet, her outstanding performance of the season has also been the tied-21st at the AIG Women`s Open, where her result was the best achieved by an Indian woman at a Women`s Major. The unfortunate part for Diksha has been that she missed out on a spot on the Indian team for the Asian Games. She did not make it to the top-two in the trials held some months back, after which her performance has been superb.
