If so, it would be a historic day at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, South Korea, on May 3 rd , 2025. The New Delhi native struggled all day on the course, posting a tough 7-over 79. The incident transpired early Saturday morning at approximately 06:41 AM ET.
Lahiri started the final round off strong, making birdies on three straight holes. The reality is that just when his fortunes seemed to be going his way, they went south on him at the ninth hole. His second shot hit the flag, which sent his ball ricocheting straight across the green and into the water. This sudden stroke of bad luck served as the start of a free fall from grace for Lahiri.
After the foul up on the ninth, things turned south for Lahiri. On the short par-four 10th, he made a triple-bogey seven. This failure to launch compounded his other challenges and quickly turned the balance of the round into an uphill climb. The adversity wouldn’t stop as Lahiri would add a double-bogey six on the twelfth hole to his misfortunes.
Lahiri got off to a quick start early in the round. His closing tally of 7-over 79 belied a day filled by unfulfilled chances and tough breaks. In the words of the Associated Press covering Lahiri’s remarkable performance, such is the fickle fortune of the great game of golf.
