Anirban Lahiri



Chonburi (Thailand): Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri on Sunday ended the Thailand Golf Championship with a tied sixth place but it was enough for him to qualify for the prestigious 2015 British Open at St. Andrews. Lahiri signed off with a 73 to share sixth place with Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee and American Jonathan Moore at the Thai showpiece. The 27-year-old totalled three-under 285 at the par-72 Amata Spring Country Club. “As a kid, I didn’t watch too much golf but I always watched The Open at St Andrews,” Lahiri said. “You see all of the things on television that you dream of experiencing for yourself, like the Swilcan Bridge and the Road Hole Bunker. You hear all stories and legends, but to be there in person will be something special.”

Sangakkara fined for dissent
Colombo: 
Sri Lanka’s star batsman Kumar Sangakkara was on Sunday fined 15 percent of his match fee for showing dissent at the umpire’s decision in the sixth One-day International against England in Kandy. 
The prolific left-hander was found to have breached the ICC’s code of conduct during the game on Saturday which the hosts won by 90 runs. The incident took place during Lanka’s innings when Sangakkara got involved in a “prolonged discussion” with on-field umpire Bruce Oxenford in the 34th over. — Agencies
