Anirban drops to tied 34th at WGC-HSBC Champions
After enjoying a brief resurgence with a second round 70, Anirban Lahiri (74-70-74) stumbled to a 74 in round three of the US$ 8.5 million WGC-HSBC Champions on Saturday. Lahiri, now placed 34th at two-over-218, trails the leader Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland by 13 strokes.
The Indian, a five-time Asian Tour winner, started off promisingly with a birdie on the second hole but his game started to unravel with a bogey on four followed by a double-bogey-five on six.
He dropped another two shots on 11 and 12 but limited the damage with two successive birdies on 13 and 14 before signing for a three-day total of two-over-par 218 under windy and chilly conditions which dipped to a low of 14 degree Celsius in the early morning.
“My game’s still there and I don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It’s just a matter of getting the ball onto the fairway and taking advantage of the opportunities which were far and few today,” said Lahiri.
