Anirban Lahiri grinded it out on yet another tough scoring day in challenging conditions to card a three-over 75 in the third round and move up to the tied 38th at the Masters, here.
High winds, which changed direction suddenly, pushed the average score to more than four shots over the Augusta National’s par and played to just over 76, more than a shot more difficult than the second day.
That meant Lahiri despite his over par score actually made ground and moved up from overnight Tied-47th. Lahiri’s 75 took him to eight-over 224 and he is now 11 shots off the leader, Jordan Spieth (73).
“Well, I played good and shot three-over and I had three three-putts, so it is not as if I played badly. On the contrary, I think I played quite well. I just did not score and didn’t get the putts to fall,” Lahiri said.
Lahiri likened the toughness to a school examination, saying, “It’s like writing an exam. For four and a half hours you have to just grind it out. At no point can you let up even a moment. It is really difficult conditions out there.”
