The third-place finish has carried Diksha Dagar to 11th place on the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit and her best world ranking of the year and career. Diksha is now 11th on the Order of Merit and 138th in world ranking.

Diksha shot 73-71-69-70 to total 9-under and was tied 3rd for at the Joburg Ladies Open, which was won by rookie Chiara Tamburlini at Modderfontein Golf Club.
