Lahiri overcomes horror start, 11th on Day 3

North Carolina, August 20 

Anirban Lahiri recovered from a bad start to card a 2-under 68 on the third day of the Wyndham Championships. Lahiri, who dropped from overnight tied-9th to tied-11th, is now 11-under in the PGA Tour’s last regular-season event. Lahiri is still five shots behind the leader, Henrik Stenson (66), who kept his nose ahead of Kevin Na (65), Ollie Schneiderjans (66) and Webb Simpson (68). Stenson is 16-under, while the trio following him are at 15-under.

Lahiri had a “horror start”, but did well on the back nine, including an eagle on the par-5 15th and closed with a birdie on the 18th. Overall, he had three birdies and an eagle against three bogeys. “That was a good round after a horror start,” said Lahiri. “I missed a lot of fairways, more than I have this week. I was out of position a few times and made errors in strategy. I didn’t hit my fairway metals well, but hit the driver good. That birdie on 18th was good” — PTI
