Anirban Lahiri has more than a few things to set right this week at the PLAYERS Championships as he is in danger of dropping out of top-100 for the first time in more than four years.
He is also yet to register a top-10 finish in this calendar year and has not tasted a win since the Hero Indian Open in February 2015.
Yet, he feels he is striking the ball well but not scoring well.
This week, at the PLAYERS Championships, the biggest event outside of the Majors, and the flagship event of the PGA Tour, Lahiri could set right most, if not all the things.
And there could not be a better setting than the PLAYERS.
This week, the event includes a very strong field led by world No. 1 Dustin Johnson, current FedExCup points leader Justin Thomas, last week's champion Jason Day, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and defending champion Si Woo Kim, for the USD 11 million showpiece which will feature every single player in the top-50 of the world.
Lahiri also has a score to settle with the PLAYERS, the venue TPC Sawgrass and the 18th hole.
Lahiri, never one to mince words and often very hard on himself, admitted, I'm definitely looking forward to this week. I think I've got some demons to exorcise. I played pretty well last year except for the 18th and it'll be nice to get back out there and exact some revenge."
He has somehow managed to erase memories of last year's PLAYERS, but added, I don't even remember if it was an eight, 10 or a 12. It was a big number. I've already decided I'll hit 2-iron off that tee regardless of the pin and regardless of the wind."
