India’s Anirban Lahiri produced a superb front nine on route to a steady final round to finish tied sixth at the Dean & Deluca Invitational golf tournament in Fortworth. Lahiri registered his first top-10 position of the ongoing season on the PGA Tour.
The 28-year-old Lahiri, whose sole top-10 in 2016 came in the European/Asian Tour event, the Hero Indian Open, where he finished second, shot 68 in the final round in Texas to finish with a total of nine-under 271 at the Colonial Country Club.
The finish in Fortworth bettered his previous best in the 2015-16 season of tied 21st at CIMB Classic in Malaysia, which is PGA Tour’s only stop in Asia.
Lahiri’s rounds this week were 65-70-68-68. He also moved to 88th on the FedEx Cup table.
At the top Jordan Spieth (65) reminded of his ‘Masters meltdown’ by a fan at the turn, raised the bar on the back nine with six birdies to grab the title, his first in his home state of Texas. He ended with 17-under and three clear of Harris English (68).
