Lahiri seeks a reset after modest 2024
Hindustan Times Pune
|January 24, 2025
Anirban Lahiri likes setting his own standards. Which means that despite four top-10s on the LIV tour in 2024 and retaining his card for next season, the Indian golfer is neither happy nor satisfied.
NEW DELHI:
"It's been a disappointing season for me. I set high standards for myself and I measure myself in terms of consistency. I don't think I could meet any of my goals last year," he said.
On Lahiri's wishlist were recording a maiden win on the LIV tour and making it to the Majors. He narrowly missed out on both. While Lahiri lost out on an outing at The Open after going down in a three-way playoff with Mexico's Abraham Ancer and Sweden's Charlie Lindh, he was denied a win at LIV Golf Andalucia when he incredibly missed a two-foot par putt on the last hole. In the playoff that ensued, Lahiri and 2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia made par on the first hole before Garcia won with par on the second playoff hole.
