Lahiri eyes win at 50th Indian Open
NEW DELHI: Anirban Lahiri has his eyes trained on the 50th Indian Open, starting November 7 at the Delhi Golf Club – a course where he has enjoyed huge success. The tree-lined and narrow DGC is rated as one of the most difficult golf courses on the Asian Tour but Lahiri has enjoyed great outings winning three Asian Tour titles. “A lot of the players fear DGC, it’s probably one of the feared courses on Tour. I’m comfortable at the Delhi Golf Club. For me, the Indian Open has been good, moving from one favourite venue to another. I’m looking forward to a win,” said Lahiri. Lahiri said that winning his National Open remains as one of his top priorities in his golfing career. He has enjoyed some measure of success in the Indian Open in the past, finishing tied third, 15th and fifth in 2009, 2011 and 2012 respectively. (PTI)
