Danish Golf Championship: Shubhankar in danger of missing cut
Copenhagen (Denmark), Aug 15 (PTI) Shubhankar Sharma played a round of even par 71 on the opening day of the Danish Golf Championship at the Par-71 Furesø Golf Klub in Denmark. Sharma was tied-70th and would need to add a good second round to make the cut for the weekend. Having failed to make the cut since the Hero Indian Open held earlier this year in March, Shubhankar would be keen to avoid an early end to his week. Veer Ahlawat shot a dismal 2-over 73 and was in danger of missing the cut as he was tied 113th. Sharma birdied the sixth and then gave away three bogey in a row from the eighth to the tenth. He further birdied the 12th, 16th and 18th and in between bogeyed the 14th as he shot even par. Englishman Marco Penge played a bogey free round of 7-under 64 to set a new course record and place himself as the sole leader by two strokes at the end of the first day. Penge made birdies on the third, sixth, 11th, 13th, and 14th holes. He closed his round with an eagle on the 18th. The Englishman has made six top 30 finishes in seven starts to catapult himself to the fifth spot in the Race to Dubai rankings. Højgaard is joined in a share of second by 2018 Open Champion Francesco Molinari, Canadian Aaron Cockerill, Jeremy Paul of Germany and Scotsman Marc Warren. Last year's runner-up Lucas Bjerregaard sits in a share of seventh alongside six others. Nicolai Højgaard had a round to remember as he spectacularly holed out for eagle twice in the space of three holes. Playing in the group ahead of twin brother Rasmus, Nicolai was two over par through ten holes before he holed out from 111 yards on the par four 12th. Two holes later at the 14th, he made his second eagle of the day, this time holing out from 144 yards. He then birdied the last to sign for a three under par 68 and a share of 14th place.

Diksha Dagar finishes in Top-20 in PIF London Championship
London, Aug 11 (PTI) Diksha Dagar endured contrasting fortunes on the front and back nines of the final round to finish tied 19th at the PIF London Championship at Centurion Club. Diksha seemed to be going great with three birdies on the front nine, but she gave away all those gains on the back nine a matter of four holes between the 11th and the 14th. After rounds of 70-73-73 at the Par-73 Centurion Club, Diksha was 3-under 216 for three rounds and finished Tied-19th. Diksha, is still 12th on the Order of Merit of the Ladies European Tour. Two other Indians, who made the cut, Aditi Ashok (72) and Pranavi Urs (75) were further down the leaderboard. Aditi (73-74-72) was even par for three rounds and Tied-34th while Pranavi (75-71-75) was 2-over and T-44th. Avani Prashanth had missed the cut. Laura Fünfstück held her nerve during the final round to clinch the title with a one-stroke victory. On a sunny day in Hertfordshire, it was a tightly contested final day with 10 players finishing within three shots of Fünfstück. The German star had a three-shot lead overnight but had a tricky start to the day as she was three-over after four holes. However, the 30-year-old, who lives in London, recovered well and produced a stunning back nine to leave her with a one-foot birdie to seal her maiden Ladies European Tour (LET) title with a score of 10-under-par. Ecuador's Daniela Darquea produced a round of 68 (-5) on the final day to finish in outright second place with a total of nine-under-par. Five-time LET winner Anne Van Dam finished with a flourish carding an eagle on the last to end the week in solo third place on eight-under-par. Seven players finished in a share of fourth place with Olivia Cowan, Adela Cernousek, Alice Hewson, Lee-Anne Pace, Mimi Rhodes, Kim Metraux and Manon De Roey all on seven-under-par. Next up for the LET is a one-week break followed by the Hills Open at Hills Golf & Sports Club between 22-24 August.
