Anirban Lahiri off to a solid start with a 68 at Barbasol Championship, lies tied 31st
Anirban Lahiri was cruising on six-under for his round on day one of the PGA Tour's Barbasol Championship until a late blemish where he found water with his approach shot into the 18th to drop a double-bogey.

His opening four-under-68 puts him in a share of 31st position with the first round to resume on Friday morning following a weather suspsension.
