Kildare (Ireland), July 7 (NationPress) Diksha Dagar, marking her 11th consecutive cut, finished on a disappointing note with a double bogey, resulting in a score of 4-over 77 at the 2025 Women’s Irish Open held at Carton House. She concluded the tournament in Tied-63rd place after rounds of 75-73-73-77, totaling 6-over par.
Her fellow competitors, Avani Prashanth, Tvesa Malik, and Hitaashee Bakshi, unfortunately missed the cut.
Meanwhile, amateur Lottie Woad delivered an outstanding performance, clinching a victory by six strokes at the 2025 KPMG Women’s Irish Open. The talented English golfer started the day with a commanding lead, having previously posted rounds of 68-67-67 on the O’Meara Course.
With a final round of 69 (-4), she secured her first Ladies European Tour (LET) title with an impressive score of 21-under-par. Second place went to Madalene Sagstrom with a score of 15-under after a round of 68.
Woad kicked off her round with a birdie on the second hole, followed by another on the fourth. She faced her only second bogey of the week at the fifth but quickly recovered with birdies on the eighth and 13th holes. Following another bogey on the 15th, she finished strong with back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17.
To secure her membership on the LPGA Tour through the LPGA Elite Amateur Pathway (LEAP), Woad needs just two points and plans to remain an amateur until she gathers the required 20 points.
Sweden’s Madelene Sagström wrapped up the week in second place at 15-under-par with a final round of 68 (-5). New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey delivered a remarkable final round of 67 (-6), finishing solo third at 14-under-par.
Charley Hull from England placed fourth at 12-under-par, while four players, including Fatima Fernandez Cano from Spain, Hannah Screen from England, Chiara Tamburlini from Switzerland, and Kirsten Rudgeley from Australia, tied for fifth at 10-under.
The next event for the LET is the fourth Major of the year, the Amundi Evian Championship, scheduled from July 10-13 at the Evian Resort Golf Club.
