Lahiri logs Top-10 at Mexico, Kuchar ends four-year title drought

Anirban Lahiri secured his first Top-10 finish since the first week of August after carding a three-under 68 on the final day of the Mayakoba Golf Classic here on Monday.

Lahiri, who once again was off to a brilliant start on the front nine with four birdies against no bogeys he had five on the front stretch on the third day, aggregated 16-under 268 to finish T-10th.

Lahiri's last Top-10 finish was at the WGC-Bridgestone where he signed off at Tied-6th place. In the six starts in between those two Top-10s, Lahiri had four missed cuts and a best finish of T-63 at CIMB Classic.

"It was some relief, though it could have been much better," said Lahiri, who is now due to play for India at the World Cup in Melbourne alongside his teammate Gaganjeet Bhullar.

Meanwhile, Matt Kuchar, who made a last minute decision to come to Mexico for the event, ended up winning the tournament. He survived some nervous moments on the backstretch to snap a four-year title drought.

Kuchar finished at 22-under
