Internet Desk: India’s campaign in golf at the Rio Olympics on Sunday ended on a disappointing note as SSP Chawrasia and Anirban Lahiri finished tied 50th and tied 57th respectively after going through contrasting days at the Olympic golf course.
Chawrasia, who scored 71, 71 and 69 in the last three rounds, had to endure a frustrating day as he carded a horrendous seven-over 78 on the final round to slip 28 places to tied 50th.
Lahiri, on the other hand, brought home an improved one-over 72 in the final round to stay static at the 57th spot.
The Olympic golf course barred its fangs to Chawrasia as he dropped a triple bogey at the third, a bogey at seventh and a birdie at eighth to make the turn at two-over. He then stumbled on a bogey patch from 11th to 14th hole, which also included a double bogey at the 13th.
