Hannah Green Dominates for Third Title of 2026

At the top, Hannah Green continued her dominant run, clinching the title at 16-under par. She signed off with a composed 2-under 69, finishing four shots clear of the field to claim her third title of the 2026 season and another LET victory.

India's Top Performers

Diksha Dagar - Tied 7th (8-under par)

Dagar led the Indian contingent with a steady campaign, closing with a 1-over 72. Her round began with a bogey on the opening hole, but she recovered with a birdie on the fourth.

Despite a few dropped shots on the front nine, Dagar finished strongly with back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th, securing her place inside the top 10.

This result also marked her second top-10 finish in five events this season, underlining her consistency.

Hitaashee Bakshi - Tied 9th (7-under par)

Bakshi produced one of the most resilient performances of the week. After a difficult start that included a double bogey on the second hole and additional early bogeys, she fought back impressively.

A series of birdies on the 6th, 11th, 15th, and 16th holes helped her climb into the top 10. The finish was particularly significant as it ended a run of missed cuts this season.

Other Indian Performances

Pranavi Urs finished tied 48th at 4-over par, signing off with a strong 2-under 69. A late double bogey, however, dented her overall total. She has now made three cuts in five starts this season, with her best being a tied 14th finish earlier in Australia. Shannon Tan, the 2025 LET Order of Merit winner, finished tied 17th at 5-under par, adding further quality to the field.
