Lahiri makes cut at Hilton Head, lies Tied-16th

TIL Desk Sports/ Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri carded a sedate one-under 70 in the second round to be tied 16th at the midway stage of the RBC Heritage at the Harbour Town Golf Links. Lahiri had turned in a fine four-under 67 in the first round. The Indian ace, who is returning to the course after the Arnold Palmer Invitational, is five places down from his first round T-11th.

Lahiri is five shots behind co-leaders Canadian Graham Delaet and Luke Donald, who has been second here four times but never won the title. Both shot 67 each after identical 65s in the opening round. Ian Poulter (66-68) and Webb Simpson (66-68) are tied third while first round leader Bud Cauley (63-72) is Tied- fifth with four others.

Lahiri birdied the second and the 11th and dropped his only bogey on 14th. In the ongoing season, Lahiri has one Top-3 (CIMB Classic T-3) and two other Top-15 finishes at Honda Classic (T-11) and RSM Classic (T-13) and is currently 60th in the FedEx Cup rankings. However, Lahiri is aiming for some good finishes to get back to Top-50, up from his current 80th, and also wants to qualify for the President’s Cup later this year.
