Recharged Lahiri eyes strong return to the PGA TOUR

A rejuvenated Anirban Lahiri will be eyeing a strong comeback when he tees up at the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town in Hilton Head starting here tomorrow.

The Indian star resumes proceedings on the PGA TOUR after a three-week break and is hoping some work on his game with coach Vijay Divecha will see a change in his golfing fortunes following a lean spell.

"We've been working on some issues that I've faced on the golf course as I've been erratic with my ball striking and with my iron play.

"I've found a lot of fairways than I usually do but I haven't hit as many greens as I would like and it's not been close enough," said Lahiri, who is ranked a 168th on TOUR for Strokes Gained: Approach-the-Green analysis.

"Although I've made a lot of cuts, I've finished almost dead last a few times, and it felt like I had to grind a lot. It's not been as free flowing as I think it should be and it's been a lot of hard work.

"I seem to have put in too much effort to play some of these weekends which is terrible. While it's good to play four days in any tournament, I have to say it has been below par."
