Diksha Dagar fired a three-under-par round of 69 on day two of the KPMG Women's Irish Open to lead by one shot at the halfway stage.
The Indian star held the overnight lead but didn't get off to the best start with a bogey on the first at Dromoland Castle but she recovered well and finished the day with the outright lead at 10-under-par.The two-time LET winner sunk back-to-back birdies on five and six, before dropping another shot on 14, but finished her round in style with three birdies in her final four holes.
'After making a birdie on 17, I had a fist pump and it made me feel confident and I attacked the flag on 18 and I had a very good putt left. The weekend is going to be a very good experience, I'm getting used to it and I'm going to feel good and stay focused.'Three players sit in a tie for second place with Anne Van Dam of the Netherlands, American Gurleen Kaur and France's Emma Grechi all on nine-under-par.
