Golf Roundup: Laisne Wins, Indian Players Perform at NSW Open.webp

Wollongong (Australia), March 2 Diksha Dagar, the only Indian to make the cut, finished with another strong round to achieve a top-20 finish at the Women's NSW Open here.

Diksha, who had started the week with a 6-over 77 and was in danger of missing the cut, finished the week with a round of 68 on Sunday, giving her an 8-under total of 276 for a T-20 finish.

Agathe Laisne was crowned the winner of the Ladies European Tour (LET) after overcoming a crowded leaderboard on a dramatic final day.

The French golfer followed up her third round of 64 (-7) with a 65 (-6) in the final round to secure a one-shot victory over Thailand's April Angurasaranee and Korean amateur Soomin Oh, at 16-under par. This came after opening with rounds of 72-67 during a rain-affected first couple of days.

The other three Indians in the field, Hitaashee Bakshi, Pranavi Urs, and Avani Prashanth, missed the cut in the weather-hit event.

Laisne has previously won one Epson Tour title, which came in 2023, and two LET Access Series (LETAS) wins, both of which came in 2020.

She also becomes the second LET winner of the season after Charley Hull won the PIF Saudi Ladies International.

English rookie Charlotte Heath finished in solo fourth place at 13-under par. The LET debutant finished strongly at Wollongong Golf Club, going six-under par for her final six holes.

Sarah Kemp of Australia, Alexandra Försterling of Germany, and Caley McGinty of England finished the week in T5 at 12-under par.

Eight players rounded out the top 10 in T8 at 11-under par, including Australian amateur Amelia Harris.

Laisne moves into a tie for 1st place with Hull after collecting 500 points for the win.

Angurasaranee moves into T2 with South Africa's Casandra Alexander after her brilliant week, which included a hole-in-one on Saturday. Heath moves into fifth place after collecting 180.00 points.

Next up on the LET's 2026 Australia swing is a trip north of Sydney to Magenta Shores for the Australian Women's Classic.
