A change in equipment and nearly 36 hours of rest between the first and second round helped India’s Anirban Lahiri find his mojo at one of the biggest events on the PGA Tour, The Players Championships, where he finished runner-up to claim the heftiest cheque (USD 2.18 million) of his career. Lahiri was one of the lucky ones to complete their opening round on March 10 and then spent indoors for the next 36 hours as rain disrupted the schedule, before teeing off for his second round in the afternoon on March 12.
Lahiri went into the lead after 54 holes and it was only a bit of poor luck that resulted in him missing a chance to take eventual winner, Cameron Smith, to the playoffs. Lahiri also made some changes to his equipment a few days before the start of the event at the TPC Sawgrass.
