Vani broke into her first LET Top 10 since 2022
Indian women’s golf continues its strong presence on European soil as 31-year-old veteran pro golfer Vani Kapoor from Gurgaon and 2-time Ladies European Tour (LET) winner Diksha Dagar of Delhi both secured Top-10 finishes last week at the €300,000 Amundi German Masters on the LET. Meanwhile, in Sweden, 18-year-old Lavanya Jadon from Delhi battled through four challenging rounds to finish Tied-55th on the LET Access Series.
For Vani, the week in Germany signaled a significant turnaround. Playing her third LET event of the season—and having missed the cut in her first two starts—she posted rounds of 72-70-76-71 in Hamburg. Her final round 2-under 71 in blustery conditions lifted her to Tied-6th at 3-under 289, earning €8,850 and marking her first LET Top-10 finish since October 2022, when she was T-8 at the Hero Women’s Indian Open.
Vani’s result builds on an encouraging run of domestic form. On the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour (HWPGT) in India, she has won four times this season in just seven starts.
Diksha also found herself in the mix, finishing Tied-8th at 2-under 290. Opening with a solid 69, followed by rounds of 73-74-74, the 24-year-old was in contention across the first two days before slipping slightly over the weekend.
This marks Diksha’s fifth Top-10 in 13 events played so far. She’s also logged two other finishes inside the Top-15, reinforcing her consistency as the most visible Indian presence on tour week after week, and has now vaulted back into the Top-10 of the Rankings.
Among other Indians in the field, 18-year-old Avani Prashanth of Bangalore posted rounds of 73-74-74-73 to finish Tied-26th at 2-over 294. Three Indians—Vani, Diksha, and Avani—were among eight Indian girls who started the week.
LET Access Series
On the LET Access Series, Lavanya Jadon was the lone Indian in action at the PGA of Sweden Championship at Landeryd Golf Club, held from June 25–28. Lavanya got off to a blazing start, firing a 3-under 69 on the opening day to sit T-3.
However, she slipped to a 77 in the second round, dropping to T-43. Despite the setback, she made the cut comfortably at 3-over for the first two days, with only 62 players advancing from a field of 133. Over the weekend, rounds of 80 and a fighting 71 on the final day saw her finish T-55 at 11-over 297. It was a learning week on a demanding setup, which utilized both the Landeryds Masters Course and the Landeryds Vesterby Links layout in Sweden.
Lavanya remains committed to gaining European experience. She’s already entered her name for additional LET Access Series events in September and October, eager to build on her international exposure.
Indian women pro golfers’ presence on the LET is notably robust, with 7-9 players competing most weeks—a depth unmatched on the men’s side, where Shubhankar Sharma has been the lone regular on the DP World Tour till now, with Veer joining him this year. The women’s contingent ensures that someone like Avani might shine one week, followed by strong performances from Vani or Diksha the next, it’s clear that the depth and variety of Indian talent is a growing strength.
Next Stop: Women’s Irish Open
The LET rolls on to the €450,000 Women’s Irish Open from July 3-6. The Indian field this time is slightly smaller, featuring just four players: Diksha Dagar, Tvesa Malik, Avani Prashanth, and Hitaashee Bakshi.
