Another Indian player, Diksha Dagar, also had a roller-coaster performance. After starting 3-over, she made a strong comeback with consecutive birdies on the 16th and 17th holes. Just as it seemed she was regaining ground, she unfortunately dropped a shot on the 18th hole. This left her with a score of 2-over 74, placing her in a tied 80th position.

Despite facing early challenges with bogeys on the first two holes, Aditi Ashok managed to steady her game. Although she missed a few opportunities for birdies, she remained consistent. Her efforts paid off when she secured birdies on the Par-5 11th hole and the Par-4 18th hole, bringing her score back to even par.

Diksha Dagar’s journey began with a bogey as well, but her birdies on the second and fifth holes boosted her performance. Her round showcased moments of promise, even though the final score did not fully reflect her efforts.

The tournament’s first day saw a mix of ups and downs for these Indian golfers, with Aditi Ashok demonstrating resilience after a tough start and Diksha Dagar showcasing determination amid fluctuations in her performance. Golf enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the next rounds to see how the players further fare in the AIG Women’s Open.
