Anirban Lahiri clinches Indian Open title

Anirban Lahiri has clinched the Indian Open title thanks to a playoff victory over SSP Chawrasia.

It is the second European tournament that the 27-year-old has won this month following his triumph at the Malaysian Open.

Chawrasia had led for the opening three rounds, but a 76 on Sunday allowed Lahiri to level the overall score at seven-under par with a 69 that included five birdies.

Lahiri then recorded another birdie on the 18th to see off his fellow Indian in a playoff.

Joakim Lagergren, Mithun Perera, Prayad Marksaeng and Marcus Fraser all finished on six under, while Romain Wattel was joined by Richard McEvoy and Siddikur Rahman on five-under par.
