Longwood, 12 Mar: Diksha Dagar, coming off a pair of top-10 finishes on the Ladies European Tour (LET), has decided to stay on in the United States for some exposure on the Epson Tour, the second rung of competition below the LPGA.
Diksha, who was tied eighth in Tampa, Florida last week, will tee off at the IOA Golf Classic, the USD 200,000 Epson Tour event, this week.
“The idea is to get more exposure,” said her father, Narender Dagar, who is also her coach, mentor and caddie.
The 54-hole event will be played at the Par-71 course in Longwood.
The IOA Golf Classic, started in 2013, will also be played in Florida where Diksha played the Aramco Team Series event last week. That event was part of the LET Tour.
Late last year, Diksha missed getting into the LPGA through the Q-Series, but has status on the Epson Tour, after finishing T-51 in the Q-School. (PTI)
