Champ Kind Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Anirban Lahiri knows that being the new face of Indian golf means the pressure he will feel on Thursday when he makes his Masters debut will be all the more severe. The 27-year-old from Bangalore qualified for the year's first major on the back of four tournament wins in the last year, including two co-sanctioned European Tour wins at the Malaysian Open and Indian Open. He is currently the Asian number one and is 34th in the world rankings, a position that ensures him of his first start at an Augusta National course he had only ever seen on television before last weekend. "The biggest change has become in believing that I can compete and beat a lot of the world‑class players." Lahiri will become just the third Indian golfer to play in the Masters after Jeev Milka Singh in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and Arjun Atwal in 2001.
