Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri will make his eighth successive Major appearance when he tees up at the Oakmont Golf and Country Club on Thursday for the 116th US Open.
The 28-year-old, who has not missed a single Major since the 2014 British Open, is also looking at improving his ‘Major best’ of Tied-fifth at the PGA Championships achieved last year at Whistling Straits.
In eight previous Majors, he has made the cut five times with a best of T-5 at the 2015 PGA Championships at Whistling Straits.
Lahiri, whose best finish this year came in the Hero Indian Open at home, an event on European and Asian Tours, will have for company his senior colleague, Jeev Milkha Singh.
“Speaking to Jeev is always a learning, because he has so much experience, but to practice with him and have him in the field at a Major alongside is indeed great,” said Lahiri.
“I am playing nine holes with him and I am sure I will get to learn a lot.”
