Anirban Lahiri (Ind) – Final round 68 (-3), Total 276 (-8)

I guess I have to wait a little longer for that win outside of India. I’m really happy with the way I played. It was good to be in this position last week as well although last Sunday was a different story. I learned from that. I stayed patient, kept my focus. I made a few mistakes out there but my temperament was much better out there than in the past. A lot of positives.

Good for Pariya. I’m happy that he’s won. He’s been struggling the last couple of years. He’s a good friend. Frankly if I wanted someone to win it apart from myself, it would be him.

On 18, I was not 100 % sure on the line. I thought it was pretty much straight, a double breaker. When I hit it, I thought I holed it. Maybe it ran out of speed and died left. These things are meant to be. It wasn’t today. I was happy with how I carried myself.

Front nine, I lost momentum on six and seven. Hit fairway on six and didn’t make birdie, and then made bogey on seven from the fairway. That was momentum lost. I thought if I could turn in three or four under, that would have given me the advantage over the leader group.

It’s not easy finishing up on 16, 17 and 18. I guess I lost the momentum there and also the three putt on 15 also cost me. But that’s golf. I gave it a go. I just misread it coming back.

I’m going to go back to India and play in a couple of weeks. I’m going to play as much as I can as I’m playing well. We’ll be busy after September.

I’ve been putting good with the short putter given that I missed a couple today. But I holed a lot of long putts than I have with the belly. Feeling a lot more comfortable with this under pressure, so you’ll find out what I’ll have in September.
