Adelaide, Mar 15 (PTI) Diksha Dagar finished as the top Indian at the Women’s Australian Open with a Tied 45th place after carding two-over 72 on the final day.
Of the other Indian women in the field Avani Prashanth (74) was T-49 and Vani Kapoor (80) was 66th.
Avani had rounds of 77-72-72-74 for a 7-over total of 295 while Vani carded 72-74-80-80 and a total of 306.
Hannah Green became the first Australian since 2014 to win her country’s National Open since 2014.
The last one was Karrie Webb in 2014. Green (70) was 11-under par Diksha, who made her third cut in as many starts in Australia, had four birdies, four bogeys and a double bogey, while Avani, who was making her first cut in three starts in Australia this year, had two birdies against four bogeys.
On a back-and-forward final day at Kooyonga Golf Club, the seven-time LPGA winner, Green, carded a final round 70 (-2) to see off charges from compatriot Cassie Porter and France’s Agathe Laisne and seal a one-shot victory.
Leading by one heading into the final round in Adelaide, Green, a one-time Major winner at the 2019 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, did well to hold and win by one. PTI Corr APS APS APS
