    Anirban Lahiri Facts

  • He had learned how to play golf from the age of 8. He used to learn by simply watching his father, a recreational golfer, play the sport with his friends.
  • When he qualified for the 2015 Masters Tournament, he had become just the 3rd Indian golfer, after Jeev Milkha Singh and Arjun Atwal, to qualify for this prestigious tournament. He had performed creditably as well, making the cut on his tournament debut, and finishing with a scoreline that read 71-75-74-72 over the 4 rounds, ending up in tied 49th place.
  • The crowning glory of his career had come at the 2015 PGA Championship where he had finished in joint 5th place, easily the then-best performance by an Indian at a golfing major. His scoreline of 70-67-70-68 over the 4 rounds meant that he had become the first Indian golfer to shoot sub-par scores in all 4 rounds in a major tournament.
  • His overall total of 13-under-par was the best performance by an Indian golfer at any major tournament and his score of 5-under-par in the 2nd round was also the best single-round performance by an Indian golfer at any major tournament.
  • In 2015, he had become the first Indian golfer to have been named in the international squad of the Presidents Cup, a biennial series of men’s golf matches between a team representing the United States and a team representing the rest of the world minus Europe.
