Adelaide, March 11 Diksha Dagar will once again lead the Indian challenge as the Ladies European Tour remains in Australia with the Women's Australian Open.
Three other Indians, Pranavi Urs, Avani Prashanth, and Hitaashee Bakshi, have also been competing in Australia, but this week Vani Kapoor will also be playing as an invitee.
Therefore, there will be five Indians in the field this week.
Diksha's top-5 result last week earned her a spot in the top-10 of the Order of Merit, which should give her a lot of confidence.
The Women's Australian Open is back on the LET schedule this week for the first time in 2016. The stunning Kooyonga Golf Club in Adelaide is hosting the event, where Bennett expects a challenging competition for all.
A prize fund of USD 1.7 million is up for grabs for the 144 players.
This week, Major Champions Hannah Green, Grace Kim, and Minjee Lee will headline the field in Adelaide, which is hosting for the first time since 2020.
There are more than just Major champions to watch on the home front, with Kelsey Bennett also teeing off fresh off a "special" maiden Ladies European Tour (LET) victory.
The 26-year-old secured her first win on the circuit at the Australian Women's Classic, where she held her nerve on the final day to win by four shots in front of family and friends.
Now, heading into her home open at Kooyonga Golf Club, Bennett, who leads the 2026 LET Order of Merit, has every reason to be confident as she tees off alongside a strong field of Australian players.
Bennett is one of 31 Australians competing at this week's Women's Australian Open, alongside World No 4 Minjee Lee, World No 9 Hannah Green, Major champion Grace Kim, and two-time LET winner Stephanie Kyriacou.
Kooyonga Golf Club is the venue for this week, and it's a new course for Kyriacou, but she is looking forward to playing in her home open.
