A remarkable moment occurred during the MCB Ladies Classic in Mauritius when India’s Diksha Dagar scored a hole-in-one, kickstarting her impressive performance. Diksha’s solid 4-under 68 in the first round placed her tied-fourth, showcasing her determination for a breakthrough victory this season. She began her round on a high note by acing the par-3 11th hole and continued with birdies to finish strong despite a minor setback.
Tvesa Malik, another Indian player, secured a steady 2-under 70, positioning herself tied-20th after a round that included birdies but also a double bogey. Hitaashee Bakshi finished at 1-under 71, tied-30th, while Vani Kapoor faced challenges with a 78 score. The Indian players, especially Diksha and Tvesa, are now focused on the upcoming Indian Open event later this year.
At the top of the leaderboard, France’s Agathe Laisné dominated with an 8-under 64, followed closely by South Africa’s Cara Gorlei with a 7-under 65, featuring two eagles. Denmark’s Smilla Tarning Soenderby secured third place with a 6-under 66. The competition remains intense with several players tied at four-under, including Diksha, as they head into the second round aiming to make the cut and progress further.
