Lahiri leads the Asian Tour golf surge

From the majestic Swiss Alps to the historic Delhi Golf Club, stars from the Asian Tour have blazed a trail of glory to reinforce the rise of the game in the Far East with India's Anirban Lahiri being among the top performers.
Currently ranked No. 33 in the world, Lahiri struck gold twice in three weeks as Asian stars enjoyed a great run.
Asian Tour members have won a magnificent five tournaments co-sanctioned with the European Tour in succession, a feat which has never been achieved before in the history of the game.
A new breed of Asia's young stars such as Lahiri is confident that another Asian Major champion will come sooner rather than later.

"It's exciting times ahead and I'll approach them in a similar manner. I'm trying to get better every day and will continue to work hard at improving my skills," said the current Asian Tour number one.
"One of the main things is to gain the experience of playing in the Majors and WGCs, playing well in them and in different conditions. It's all about learning as I go along and hopefully maybe I can get into the top-10 and vie for the number one spot," added Lahiri, who is a seven-time Asian Tour winner.
Lahiri will make his debut at Augusta Masters next week alongside Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand.

Also as per current calculations, nine Asian nations would qualify for the Olympics if the current week were the cut off. The Indians making the grade would have been Lahiri and SSP Chawrasia, who won the Panasonic Open on Asian Tour last year.
