NEW DELHI: India’s Anirban Lahiri shot a three-over 74 in the final round of the RBC Heritage PGA Tour event at the Harbour Town Golf Links, South Carolina on Sunday.

The 34-year-old, two-under for the tournament starting out on the last day, aggregated oneover 285. He was 66th on the leaderboar­d as an early finisher.

Lahiri, 34, shot two-under 69s on the first and third days and a two-over 73 on Day 2.

He again looked steady off the tee but struggled with his iron play in a round with six bogeys and three birdies.

He bogeyed the first, second, fifth, seventh, 12th and 14th holes.

Birdies on the ninth and 10th helped get to two-over for the round and even par for the event, only for the two dropped shots to follow before a birdie on the par-5 15th.

On the par-5 second hole, his second shot went out of bounds and led to a bogey. He bogeyed the par-3 14th too after finding water off the tee. Lahiri was runner-up in the Players Championsh­ip and tied-13 in the Texas Open coming into this event.
