Tokyo: Playing in his second Olympics, India’s Anirban Lahiri got off to a solid start, carding a 4-under 67 in the first round to be placed tied sixth at the weather-hit Tokyo Games golf competition at the Kasumigaseki Country Club here Thursday.
The former Asian Tour No. 1 struck six birdies against two bogeys in a field in which many players were yet to finish their rounds because of a lightning storm at the venue.
The other Indian, Udayan Mane, who made the field of 60 at a late stage, also had a fine start and he was 1-under through 10 holes. He was T-30 though his position will change as the round ends.
