India Golf Round Up | Anirban Lahiri, Shubhankar Sharma scrape through at Memorial Tournament

Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri enjoyed a brilliant outing on the opening day of the Memorial Tournament as he ended the day tied 3rd place. However, the veteran Indian golfer endured a slight dip in form on the second day of the tournament after he scored a four-over 76 but made the cut for the next round one-under 143 and tied 44th. Lahiri started from the 10th and bogeyed four in a row from 11th to 14th. He birdied 15th but dropped a shot again on 16th. He was steadier on second nine with six pars, eight in a row, and then birdied the seventh. He missed an 11-footer on ninth to finish at 76 for the day.

Meanwhile, compatriot Shubhankar Sharma did well as compared to the previous round as he too made the cut for the next round ending the day tied 55th at Muirfield Village. Sharma, who smashed a 2-Iron from 250 yards for his albatross was stunned with the perfect shot, which came after he bogeyed the 11th, double-bogeyed the 14th and then the 18th to play his first nine in three-over 39. The Indian prodigy further added an even-par 71 to his first round 73 and totalled an even par to finish the halfway stage at tied 55th.
