Goal is to win a Major, it's a step by step process: Lahiri

On a high after reaching World No. 65th, Anirban Lahiri is now determined to enter the top-50 list to earn a shot at the World Golf Championships and Majors but the top Indian golfer said it is a step by step process which will take a lot of harder.
"The Asian Tour Order of Merit is one of the few goals that I have for this season and I've put myself in a good position. It's still a long season ahead," said Lahiri, who earned USD 240,900 so far this year to current sit at the top of Asian Tour's Order of MeritTour.

"I want to push and see how far I can go. The sky is the limit. I don't know where I want to get to, I just want to go forward. Everybody's ultimate goal is to win a Major or more than one. I just need to get into more Majors for now and then hopefully have a chance to win. It's a step by step process."
It has been a interesting journey for Lahiri from being a wide-eyed young golfer playing in his rookie year in 2008 to becoming the country's best golfer in 2014 with four Asian Tour titles so far.

Back in November of 2008, Lahiri couldn't believe his luck when he got into Singapore Open as the first alternate following Ian Poulter's withdrawal at the 11th hour. Lahiri then stepped onto the first tee in the company of Major champion Phil Mickelson and Asia's great Thaworn Wiratchant.
"That was my claim to fame back then," Lahiri laughed.

It was indeed a baptism of fire which backfired as rounds of 80 and 76 saw him finish ahead of only six other golfers in the field of 150.
Cut to 2014 and Lahiri started his season with a superb victory at the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters, courtesy of a sensational eagle on the 72nd hole, and three other top-10s.

The 26-year-old has taken enough trips to the hard luck saloon and suffered knocks in his fledgling years that he reckons those experiences has shaped his career.
Lahiri believes if he can stick with the winning recipe, it will take him to a Major victory.
"I was just a fledging, a newbie and I've learned so much since then," said Lahiri of his first brush with fame in Singapore.
