This is the Major championship which I have played the most number of times. I was telling my caddy that I even recognised one of the security guards here. I don\u2019t feel out of place at The Open. Everything is set up like it has always been so it feels really nice to be back,\u201d said Lahiri.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">Lahiri, a seven-time Asian Tour winner, made his Major debut at The Open in 2012 where he came in tied-31st. He finished one rung better in 2015 to mark his best result at the world&#8217;s oldest Major championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">Also in his breakout year in 2015, Lahiri&nbsp;clinched a solid tied-fifth finish at the PGA Championship for his career-best result in a Major championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">&#8220;For me, the more important thing is to play well. I want to do better than what I have done before. I know I can do that because I have contended in Majors in the past. I am getting a lot of confidence from the golf I am playing right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">\u201cIt is not the typical Open, which used to be wet and cold so that makes me more comfortable. The course also reminds me a bit of the Delhi Golf Club, where one can keep hitting two-Irons and keep the ball in play,\u201d Lahiri added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">Lahiri has been plying his trade on the PGA Tour since 2015. He has captured three top-10 finishes so far this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">\u201cIt has not been the typical preparation for me.&nbsp;I usually play&nbsp;the Scottish Open and then The Open but this time, I came&nbsp;straight from the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">\u201cAlso for logistical&nbsp;reasons, I have played only 18&nbsp;holes. Normally I would have played 36 by now. But having said that, I am still very comfortable in that I have not overplayed. There is no nervousness,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5102025792781040278m_-9023585966778692620font-calibri\">Lahiri will fly the Indian flag alongside rising star Shubhankar Sharma, who leads the Asian Tour Habitat for Humanity Standings, at The 147th Open.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian stalwart Anirban Lahiri believes the feel-good factor will stand in his favour when he makes his sixth attempt at The 147th Open at Carnoustie starting Thursday.
