Arjun Atwal makes return to 3M Open alongside compatriot Anirban Lahiri
Arjun Atwal has managed to qualify for the main draw of the 3M Open on the PGA Tour at Blaine and will play alongside compatriot Anirban Lahiri. The veteran Indian golfer last won on a Monday qualifier was in 2010 after which he went on to win the prestigious Wyndham Championship.
Indian golfer Arjun Atwal ended the Monday qualifier with a score of nine-under 62 to earn a spot in the main draw of the 3M Open at Twin Cities TPC. Atwal sank a 60-foot eagle putt on his seventh hole during a six-hole stretch he played in seven-under.
“The mentally tough part is you know the entire field is going to be firing at pins all day. You don’t have three days to make it up if you miss a few birdies. Not in a Monday qualifier,” Atwal was quoted as saying by PTI sources.
The last time Atwal won a Monday qualifier was in 2010 after which he went on to win the Wyndham Championship which is still the only PGA Tour title ever won by an Indian. Atwal was also the first Monday qualifier to win a PGA Tour event in 24 years. Atwal has made one cut in three PGA Tour starts this year and last ended up in the top-10 on TOUR back in October 2012.
He will be accompanied by compatriot Anirban Lahiri in the main draw who is 169th on the FedExCup standings and needs a couple of very good weeks on the green.
