In a display of commendable resilience, Indian golfer Diksha Dagar overcame a mid-round challenge to conclude the opening round of the PIF London Championship with a commendable 3-under 70. Her performance on the par-73 course at the Centurion Club placed her tied for 10th in this notable Ladies European Tour event, powered by two birdies in her final four holes.
