Overnight leader Siddikur of Bangladesh closed with a disappointing 73 to finish third, four shots behind the play off duo while Shiv Kapur of India settled for fourth place after a 70. Thailand\u2019s Pawin Ingkhapradit and Australian rookie Matthew Stieger ended in tied fifth place.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not sunk in. I\u2019m still in disbelief that I made the putt in regulation and got into the play-off. After that, in the next 15 minutes, I didn\u2019t know what happened. Unfortunately for Rashid, it didn\u2019t work out for him. I feel bad for him as he doesn\u2019t have a card on the Asian Tour. He\u2019s got a bright future ahead of him,\u201d said a gracious Lahiri, who ended the week on 15-under-par 273 with Khan.<\/p>\n
The final round of the US$300,000 event, which is part of the Asian Tour\u2019s milestone 10th season celebration in 2013, was a nail-biting affair with Khan and Lahiri exchanging leads on the back nine.<\/p>\n
The slender Khan, playing in the penultimate group, brilliantly birdied his 72nd hole from three feet but could do very little as Lahiri coolly matched his closing birdie from 10 feet to force the play-off.<\/p>\n
Lahiri was overjoyed to taste victory for the third time at the demanding Delhi course, which he disliked early on in his career. \u201cI feel great winning here again. In regulation play standing over the 10 -footer, I took my time and decided what I wanted to do. I think this is the calmest I\u2019ve ever been in that situation,\u201d said Lahiri.<\/p>\n
Khan, who grew up at the Delhi course, held his head up high. \u201cI played really good. Holed good putts and played really well this week. Starting with a par 72 on the first day and losing in a play-off, it\u2019s disappointing,\u201d said Khan, who picked up US$33,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the play-off, I just misread my third shot and hit it too far right (to 15 feet of the flag). I wasn\u2019t too sure of the line and hit it a bit right. I was expecting Anirban to make birdie in regulation. He\u2019s won here twice before and I knew it was going to be a play-off. I was prepared for it but it didn\u2019t work out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Siddikur, who has three top-fives at the course in the past two seasons, started brilliantly with two opening birdies to cement his lead early on but four bogeys in his next seven holes derailed his hopes of a second Asian Tour title.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, I was totally off. My hitting was bad. From the centre of the fairway, I made three bogeys on four, 13 and 17. The balls were going too long,\u201d said the Bangladeshi. \u201cI saw Anirban and Rashid going up the leaderboard but I couldn\u2019t catch them. I couldn\u2019t make the birdies.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"SAIL-Anirban-Lahiri-trophy\"](\"images\/golf\/SAIL-Anirban-Lahiri-trophy.jpg\")
