Indian golfer Diksha Dagar seemed set for a Top-20 finish before three bogeys in four holes pushed her back to Tied-29th on the concluding day of the Canberra Women's Classic here Sunday.
Dagar was the lone Indian to make the cut and she started with a bogey and ended with a birdie as she had four bogeys and three birdies. The stretch that pulled her back was between the 14th to 17th, holes when she had three bogeys.
Anne Van Dam from The Netherlands surged home on the final nine to win by three strokes. It was her third Ladies European Tour title inside six months and her fourth overall.
Van Dam began the day as joint leader on 11 under and out-duelled defending champion Korea's Jiyai Shin and Slovenian Katja Pogacar, the other overnight co-leader. Van Dam picked four shots in last four holes for a round of six under 65.
Katja Pogacar (68) also came home strongly with two birdies in the final four holes to finish 14-under par, one ahead of Shin, who was third despite a final round of 67.
The day began with a group of five players separated by just two shots at the top of the leaderboard and while Van Dam led at the halfway mark by one shot, Shin and Carly Booth (Scotland) and Madelene Sagstrom (Sweden) were all within striking distance.
In the end Van Dam pulled ahead decisively in the final stretch.
