Lahiri, Digvijay hope to repeat success at Panasonic Open

Home favourites Anirban Lahiri and Digvijay Singh will return to the scene of their famous victories determined to repeat their success at the USD 300,000 Panasonic Open India at the Delhi Golf Club.
The Panasonic Open India was where Lahiri and Singh earned their career breakthroughs with the former winning his maiden title at the inaugural edition in 2011 and the later emerging victorious last year.
The Delhi Golf Club was once regarded as a bane for Lahiri but he showed that he has truly conquered his demons by winning all three of his Asian Tour titles at the venerable course.

"Obviously playing at Delhi Golf Club is special to me as I've won thrice here. This is my fifth tournament in a roll and my match fitness is there. Physically and mentally I'm ready," said the 25-year-old.
While meditation has also proven to be the perfect tonic for Lahiri to stay calm and focussed, the Indian also knows that accuracy rather than distance holds the key when taming the course.
"I've got more and more comfortable on this golf course and I seemed to have found my way around here. My Vipassna training has definitely helped me to stay focused but the key is also to stay out of the bushes and hit it onto the fairways at this golf course," said Lahiri.

Since making his debut on the Asian Tour in 2008, Lahiri has been regarded as the next generation of players from India to lead golf in the country to greater heights.
His performances on the region's premier Tour have since attracted much attention from fans and sponsors including Panasonic which is the title sponsor for this week's full field Asian Tour event.
"Panasonic is one of my sponsors and it'll be great if I can put up a strong performance that matches the support that they've shown me," said Lahiri.
