Diksha Lone Indian to cut in Scottish open for women

Diksha Dagar was the lonely Indian who made the cut during the 2025 ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open Golf Tournament and was placed here T-59.

With rounds of 69-76, Diksha 1-over was on the par-72 course when 71 players made the cut.

The leader is England’s Lottie Woad, who makes her pro debut. She added a 65 to her first round 67 and is now 12-under.

Diksha, the 24-year-old double winner on the Ladies European Tour, who shot 3-under 69 in the first round, seemed to be on the way to the outside, because she was on six to 16 holes in the second round and 3-over for the tournament.

As she has done many times before, Diksha gathered the last two holes from the precarious position to Birdie and made the weekend on the cut line, which fell on 1-over.

The other two Indians Pranavi Urs (75-73) and TVesa Malik (77-77) missed the cut.
