Diksha Dagar, the only Indian player in this year's Women's Open field, stood resilient during the tournament's second round, securing a tied-28th place by shooting a 1-over 73. As she maintained par over 36 holes, Dagar ensures her place for the decisive weekend rounds of the tournament.
Japan emerges dominant as 23-year-old Miyu Yamashita leads at 11-under, followed closely by compatriot Rio Takeda at 8-under. The competition remains fierce, with the next pack tied for third at 4-under par. The weather's unpredictability tested players at the demanding Royal Porthcawl Golf Club.
Dagar's performance included an eagle on the ninth and strategic birdies, managing a challenging course with skill. A balanced finish could set the stage for a promising second half to her season, aligning her closely with the upcoming Hero Women's Indian Open. Dagar is paired with notable competitor Stephanie Kyriacou for the third round.
