Diksha misses cut in Australia

India's Diksha Dagar had an off-day as she shot a below-par two-over 75 and missed the cut at 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open golf tournament here on Friday.

She made two birdies against four bogeys and carded two-over 75 at the Par-73 Creek Course for a total of one-over 146 as the cut fell at three-under.

Swede Madelene Sagstrom followed up her opening round eight-under par 65 with another near flawless display of golf this afternoon, shooting a five-under par 67 to take a one shot lead into the final 36 holes.

Sagstrom is looking to win her second LPGA title of 2020, after breaking through for her first professional victory at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio in Florida two weeks ago.

Sitting just one shot back is American Ally McDonald, who sits alone in second place at 12-under par.

Of the Australians competing this week, Queensland youngster Robyn Choi shot one of the rounds of the tournament on Friday, an eight-under-par 65 to sit at tied 10th, just three shots back in a three-way tie for the third place.
