LIV Golf: Lahiri T-32 after weak opening round at Bedminster
Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri was placed T-32 after an underwhelming opening round of 3-over 74 in the LIV Golf Bedminster.
The only Indian playing on the LIV golf circuit had two birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey in his round. Australia’s Cameron Smith, who was 35th last week in Greenbrier, opened with a 5-under 66 to grab a one-stroke lead over Charles Howell III at Trump National Bedminster.
Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed shot 3-under 68s on Friday to share third place on the individual leaderboard. Rippers led by Smith are leading the team event at 4-under, while the 4Aces with Dustin Johnson are tied for second with Stinger GC, one shot behind the Rippers.
With just three tournaments left in the regular season, a poor result can be costly in both the individual and team races.
