2015 Hero Indian Open - Anirban Lahiri wins the Hero Indian Open
Anirban Lahiri grabbed his second European Tour title as he beat overnight leader Shiv Chowrasia on the first playoff hole at the Hero Indian Open in New Delhi.
Lahiri, who won the Malaysian Open a fortnight ago, began the final round of the Hero Indian Open seven shots off the lead but a closing 69 was enough to force extra holes as overnight leader SSP Chawrasia stumbled to a 76.
The home pair returned to the par-five 18th for the play-off and with Chawrasia unable to make par after hooking his tee shot into the trees, Lahiri made certain of victory by holing from 10 feet for birdie.
Lahiri had been four over par after 10 holes of his opening round but the win solidifies his place in the top 40 of the world rankings and effectively secures a trip to Augusta. The top 50 on March 30 qualify for the year's first major.
