Indian sports wrap, April 26: Diksha drops to T-26 at Women’s South Africa Open

Indian golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar dished out a disappointing final round at the International Series Singapore as he finished the tournament with a 2-over 73 and tied 26th on Sunday, after having been in contention for the title earlier in the week at the Sentosa Golf Club.

The four-time IGPL winner, Bhullar, also a 11-time Asian Tour winner, had an early birdie on the second, but in the next seven holes, he dropped four shots. On the back nine, he birdied the 10th and the 17th and the 18th, but also double bogeyed the 15th in his 73.

The top Indian on the final day was yet another IGPL star, Pukhraj Singh Gill, who shot his best score of the week with a 4-under 67 with five birdies against one bogey to join Bhullar in the T-26th spot.

The only other Indian player to make the cut, Karandeep Kochhar (76), also from the IGPL, was 70th.
