Kuala Lumpur, October 20
After firing seven birdies in his last round at Macao on Sunday, Anirban Lahiri kept the momentum going with six more birdies in his first eight holes at the CIMB Classic golf tournament.
Despite a bogey-bogey finish on the front nine of the course, which was his second nine, Lahiri carded a six-under 66 to be tied fifth at the end of the first day. Lahiri was eight-under after 14 holes and seemed set for the lead when he bogeyed the last two holes.
The first round leaders were defending champion Justin Thomas, Derek Fathauer and Keegan Bradley in the $7 million tournament. Gaganjeet Bhullar (73) and SSP Chawrasia (74) were way behind in tied 64th and tied 69th place. — PTI
