Pattaya, June 21 : Diksha Dagar carded a second straight 72 to be Tied-22nd as she lead all three Indians into the weekend action at the Ladies European Thailand Championship. Diksha had three birdies and three bogeys, one of which for the second day running came on the Par-5 18th and she is now even par 144 for 36 holes and eight shots behind the leader, Thai amateur, Atthaya Thitikul (69-67).

The other two Indians, Astha Madan (68) and Tvesa Malik (73) also made the cut in Tied-33rd and Tied-60th places. The cut fell at four-over 148.
