Lahiri finishes Tied-59th as Justin Thomas wins Honda Classic
Florida, Feb 26 (IANS) Ace golfer Anirban Lahiri finished in Tied-59th place after he dropped a double bogey on either side of the turn for a three-over 74 card at the Honda Classic at Palm Beach Gardens here.
Lahiri’s score was highest of the week as he finished at nine-over 289, dropping 13 places from his overnight position.
Justin Thomas, meanwhile, grabbed a play-off over Luke List while Tiger Woods was 12th.
Lahiri had three birdies, the first of which came on the third.
He dropped a double on fifth followed by a bogey on sixth and another on ninth and turned in three over.
He birdied 12th on the back nine but once again had a bogey and double bogey on back-to-back holes 14th and 15th and not even a birdie on the tough 17th could better his day.
Thomas beat List on the first extra hole Sunday to win event. Thomas rose to No. 3 with this win.
Thomas and List finished at 8-under 272. It was the seventh playoff in 15 PGA TOUR events this season.
Thomas closed with a 2-under 68 and won for the second time this season. He also won in a playoff at the CJ Cup in South Korea last fall.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
