Diksha stays in top-20 at London Championship

Diksha Dagar stayed inside the top-20 at the London Championship after a steady 1-over 72 in the third round, keeping alive her hopes of gaining further ground on the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit.

Diksha had 75-70 in the first two rounds and was T-22 but fell to T-19 with a 72 in the third, while Aditi Ashok, after 71-73, was T-16 and she also fell to T-19 with a 73 at Centurion Club.

Pranavi Urs with 71-72 had risen to T-12, but she fell dramatically to T-38 after a card of 78 on the third day of the USD two million event.

Diksha can move up further in the Order of Merit with a good finish.
