Anirban Lahiri finishes as top Indian at DP World India Championship in Delhi

Anirban Lahiri produced a bogey-free four-under 68 in the final round to finish as the highest-ranked Indian at the DP World India Championship at Delhi Golf Club on Sunday, ending tied 23rd at eight-under-par.

The US$4 million tournament saw Lahiri post rounds of 70, 73 and 69 across the first three days before his final-day 68, his best score of the week; organisers noted he showed greater control on the closing day, avoiding bogeys in a high-quality international field.

Yuvraj Sandhu closed with a four-under 68 as well, following earlier rounds of 75, 68 and 72, to recover from an opening-round setback and finish tied 34th at five-under-par.

Om Prakash Chouhan, who opened with a six-under 68, recorded rounds of 72 and 71 in the middle rounds and a final-round 73 to end tied 42nd at four-under-par.

Karandeep Kochhar improved on the last day with a three-under 69 after three successive rounds of 72, completing the week tied 49th at three-under-par.

Saptak Talwar began with a 71 and returned a final-round 71 to finish tied 55th at one-under-par after rounds of 73 and 72 in the middle days; Shiv Kapur struggled on Sunday with a three-over 75 following rounds of 72, 72 and 73 to finish tied 69th at four-over-par.

Final placings for the six Indians who made the weekend were: T-23 Anirban Lahiri (70-73-69-68) at 8-under; T-34 Yuvraj Sandhu (75-68-72-68) at 5-under; T-42 O P Chouhan (68-72-71-73) at 4-under; T-49 Karandeep Kochhar (72-72-72-69) at 3-under; T-55 Saptak Talwar (71-73-72-71) at 1-under; T-69 Shiv Kapur (72-72-73-75) at 4-over.
