Vani finishes sixth, Diksha secures eighth spot in German Masters golf

India’s Vani Kapoor fought back from a disappointing third to register 2-under 71 in the final round and finish a creditable tied sixth at the Amundi German Masters golf tournament here.

Vani, thus, logged her first top-10 finish since October 2022, when she ended T-8 at her home event, the Hero Women’s Indian Open.

Playing only her third event of the 2025 season, Vani, who has won four times in her home Tour Hero WPGT this year, shot rounds of 72-70-76-71 to total 3-under for the week.

Vani was the best Indian this week as Diksha Dagar, who was in contention over the first two days with 69-73, shot 74-74 over the final two rounds and ended tied-eighth.

For Diksha, it was her fifth top-10 finish and has also been in the top-15 on two other occasions. She is now back in the top 10 of the Order of Merit.

Avani Prashanth, the third Indian to make the cut this week, had a very straightforward even par round with one birdie and one bogey and finished T-26 at 2-over total.
