Diksha Dagar slipped out of the top 10 on the Ladies European Tour (LET) Order of Merit following a missed cut at the 2026 Swiss Ladies Open at Golfpark Holzhäusern, Switzerland.

Indian Standings on the LET Order of Merit
Among the other Indian players on tour, Pranavi Urs holds the highest position at 46th, having been the only Indian to make the cut this week. Avani Prashanth, who did not compete at the Swiss Open, is placed 53rd, while Aditi Ashok — who has played just six events on the LET this season — sits at 55th. Further down the rankings, Tvesa Malik is 117th, Hitaashee Bakshi is 133rd, and Vani Kapoor is 181st.
Pranavi Urs the Lone Indian Finisher
Pranavi closed the Swiss Ladies Open with an even-par 71 in the final round, combining four birdies with four bogeys in a round that fluctuated throughout the day. Having opened with rounds of 70 and 69, she finished at 3-under par for the week, good enough for a share of 38th place. Diksha Dagar and Tvesa Malik both failed to advance past the 36-hole cut.
Eleanor Givens Clinches Maiden LET Title
The tournament's headline moment belonged to England's Eleanor Givens, who claimed her maiden Ladies European Tour title after an extraordinary wait — 15 seasons and 210 starts since joining the tour in 2012. Givens, who had endured multiple near-misses and injury setbacks and even returned to Q-School in December to secure her playing rights, rallied from four shots back on the final day. A closing 66 (-5) saw her edge past Whitney Hillier, Alexandra Forsterling, and Anna Foster by one shot, finishing at a winning score of 13-under par. The victory propelled Givens to 23rd on the Order of Merit, earning her 500 points.
Order of Merit Leader and What's Next
South Africa's Casandra Alexander continues to lead the LET Order of Merit on 1,899.98 points. The tour now heads into an off-week before the prestigious 2026 KPMG Women's Irish Open at the K Club, which gets underway on 27 August. The Irish Open will be a critical opportunity for Diksha and the other Indians to reclaim lost ground on the standings.
Point of View
Where missed cuts carry outsized Order of Merit consequences. With only Pranavi Urs regularly converting starts into finishes, Indian women's golf on the European circuit still lacks the depth to absorb individual off-weeks. The K Club's Irish Open is now a must-watch for Diksha — a strong result there could claw back the ground lost in Switzerland, but the window to finish inside the top 10 is narrowing as the season enters its final stretch.
