July 2nd 2010, Pune, India: Anirban Lahiri recorded a comfortable six-stroke win at the Aircel PGTI Players Championship presented by Oxford Golf & Country Club as he shot a five under 67 in the final round on Friday. Lahiri ended up with a total of 21 under 267 to claim his fourth title on the Aircel PGTI. Himmat Singh Rai totaled 15 under 273 to finish as the runner-up.

Anirban Lahiri (65-68-67-67) set the tone for his final round with birdies on the first three holes. Anirban performed exceptionally with the putter as he sank birdie putts from 25 feet and 15 feet on the first and third holes repectively. He was five strokes ahead of his nearest rival Himmat at the turn and had all but sealed it at that stage. Lahiri made four birdies against two bogeys on the back nine to sail to a comfortable victory.

Lahiri said, “I performed well in all aspects of the game today. My hitting was quite good and I sank some long putts as well. This has been a really good week for me as I never lost focus as far as my targets were concerned. It’s been a delight playing on this golf course since it suits my style of play.”

He added, “The key in the final round was to be aggressive from the very start. I managed to do that and achieved the desired results with birdies on the first three holes. I would now like to carry forward this form into the Asian Tour events.”

Himmat Singh Rai (66-69-67-71) shot a one under 71 in the final round to post a creditable second place finish. He got off to a slow start with bogeys on the third and fourth but then pulled it back thanks to four birdies against a lone bogey from the fifth through the 18th.
