Singapore, Dec 1: Top Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri closed the gap on Asian Tour Order of Merit leader David Lipsky of the United States after finishing tied second at the King’s Cup.
Lahiri, who led the King’s Cup for the first three days, was disappointed not to win his third Asian Tour title this year. But with three tournaments remaining on the 2014 Asian Tour season, Lahiri still has a fighting chance to win the prestigious Order of Merit crown and break inside the top-50 in the world. Prom, who ended an eight-year title drought with a second Asian Tour victory at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship in Chinese Taipei in September, continued to enjoy his best season on the Asian Tour.
His current earnings of USD 526,171 is the highest amount he has earned in a single season since making his debut on the region’s premier Tour in 2004. Prom will also feature in the USD 750,000 BANK BRI Indonesia Open this week. The Asian Tour heads to the USD 750,000 BANK BRI Indonesia Open in Jakarta where the Asian Tour stars will continue their chase for honours at the Damai Indah Golf, Pantai Indah Kapuk Course from December 4- 7.
