Deaflympian Dikshar Dagar has won the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open at Royal Beroun Golf Club.

Dagar had a five stroke lead going in to the final and played like a magician carding six consecutive pars, two birdies. her only bogey of the day came at the 10th when she pulled her shot into water.

She felt the pressure on the back nine “I saw the scoreboard on the 16th and thought thank God I made a birdie on the 15th. I had a difficult chip on 16 and after i made a par there, I thought, two holes to go and a three-shot lead, I can finally breathe a little more easily.”

She is focussed on representing India at the Paris Olympics and has started to cut out unnecessary activities from her daily routine such has no more late night TV so that she gets more sleep.

As an amateur, the Deaf golf world saw her for the first time at the 2017 Deaflympics in Samsun, Turkey where she took the silver medal behind the expereinced professional Kaylin Yost (USA). The following year Dagar won the 2018 World Deaf Golf Championships on her debut, delivering the lowest scores in the history of the competition. She turned professional almost immediately and her first professional win was the 2019 Investec South African Women’s Open as an 18-year-old rookie and it has been a long wait for her second title. She explained that the first win just happened and she had to work really hard for the second title, and she felt it getting close in recent weeks as she was on improving form.
