Solid finish sees Anirban Lahiri card 68, Indian lying seventh in Texas Open
The HinduIndia's Anirban Lahiri overcame a sluggish start to fire a solid 4-under 68 and lie three strokes off the early first round lead at the Valero Texas Open here. Lahiri, who was the runner-up in a dramatic finish at THE PLAYERS Championship three weeks ago, was 1-over through 10 holes at TPC San Antonio before coming home with five birdies, thanks largely to a hot putter. READ | The 34-year-old Lahiri is attempting to win a first career title in the US after coming agonisingly close at the TOUR's flagship tournament at TPC Sawgrass, and victory on Sunday would also secure a spot in next week's Masters Tournament. "The putter got a little warmer and it was a nice bonus on the last to get a long one which feels really good," said Lahiri, who finished solo fifth at TPC San Antonio last season.
