On the next hole, the par-4 fifth, Lahiri’s 153-yard approach to eight feet set him up for the second birdie, which he duly holed. But he gave away one shot on the sixth, as he failed to two-putt from around 50 feet.

The action continued on the 486-yard par-4 seventh hole, where Lahiri had a 206-yard approach shot and he hit it to eight feet for a third birdie in four holes and he was back to two-under for the round.

However, before the run, Lahiri bogeyed the par-4 ninth after going into the right round and getting to the green in three and two-putting.

On the back nine, he parred all the way from 10th to 17th, before giving a shot on the 470-yard par-4 18th.
