Indian golfer Diksha Dagar came astonishingly close to securing her third Ladies European Tour title at the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco. Despite starting at 3-under and tied for 14th position, the 24-year-old impressed with a scorching 6-under 67 in the final round, setting a 9-under clubhouse target.
