Diksha pulls away to open 3-shot lead in 15thLeg of WPG Tour

Diksha Dagar pulled away from the rest of the field with two birdies in the last three holes in the 15th and final Leg of the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour here on Thursday.

Dagar, looking for her first win on the domestic Tour as a professional, is now in sole lead at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club.

She carded her second straight one-under 71 to get to two-under 142 and open up a three-shot lead over overnight co-leader Ridhima Dilawari (74). Ridhima, looking for her fifth win this year, is one-over 145 for 36 holes.

Diksha won the final leg of the 2017 season, but as an amateur. She turned pro at the start of this year and won the Women's South African Open on the Ladies European Tour, but she is yet to win on the Indian pro Tour this year.

In her three previous starts this season, she was third in the first leg, Tied-second in the 13th Leg and was fourth last week in the 14th Leg.

Vani Kapoor (72) moved into third place at 146 and was one shot ahead of amateur Pranavi Urs (72) at 147. ..
