Lahiri secures tied 40th in Shanghai, SSP is tied 46th
India’s Anirban Lahiri signed off with a one-under-71 at the US$8.5million WGC-HSBC Champions on Sunday to secure tied 40th place at six-under-282 at the Sheshan International Golf Club.
“It was a disappointing week and if I were to look back, it was my second round (75) that put a huge dent in my efforts,” said the current Asian Tour Order of Merit leader.
After playing at Asia’s richest tournament, Lahiri is now heading home for a much-needed break.
“It’s been a long year and I’ve been playing at very low energy levels. I’m heading home next week and going to recharge my batteries for the last couple of events. You can’t really blame anything (for his disappointing performance this week).
“I just can’t say I’m tired or I played badly. I played well on Saturday so how can you explain that? So it’s a combination of a number of factors and fatigue is one of those. I was not 100% fit both mentally and physically. I’m just going to plan my schedule better so that I can be at my best again,” said Lahiri.
Meanwhile, India’s other representative at the WGC-HSBC Champions, SSP Chawrasia closed with a 72 for a share of 46th place at four-under-284.
“Basically it was my putting that let me down this week. I’m going to work on it and hopefully it will be a better week in Singapore (World Classic Championship at Laguna National) next,” said Chawrasia.
