Lahiri wins Indonesian Masters with a final hole eagle

Keeping his emotions and nerves in check, Anirban Lahiri holed a sensational 20-foot eagle putt on the very last hole on the final day to grab his fourth Asian Tour title and the first outside India at the CIMB Indonesian Masters here today.
It also brought Lahiri an early wedding gift, as he is getting married next month.
Lahiri, who started the day in second place and began well by firing three successive birdies starting from the second hole.
He seemed to have been affected by a break prompted because of a three-hour rain stoppage, as he double bogeyed 13th when play resumed.

But the Indian fought back wonderfully to birdie the 14th and finally leapfrogged from second to the top and past the clubhouse leader Baek Seuk-Hyun of Korea (65) with that stunning eagle on the last hole.
Lahiri (68) finished at 17-under after rounds of 70, 69, 64 and 68 and was one shot clear of Baek (65) and Cameron Smith (70).

"I had an awkward lie on 13. During the rain delay I was just thinking that I have to get up and down there. I got a bad break there but I knew Lin Wen-tang dropped a shot as well. Unfortunately I got a double bogey there but I am glad I came back strong," said Lahiri.

With Baek holding the clubhouse lead at 16-under, Lahiri knew he had to produce a superlative effort on 18th to get the outright win and he needed at least a birdie to get into the play-off.
On his final step, Lahiri said, "My mind was blank when I prepared for the last putt on 18. All I told myself was I had to get it into the hole. When I was walking up to the greens, I was actually thinking if I need to prepare for a playoff tomorrow morning."
Lahiri let out a scream of relief as the ball settled inside the cup.

"It's really great to get my first win outside of India. I have missed out on it for a long time and I am so glad I managed to do it today. I need the world ranking points so I am really happy I can win this week," said Lahiri.
