Disappointed Lahiri Believes Asia on Brink of Major Success

MUMBAI — India's Anirban Lahiri believes a lack of experience cost him dearly in the last two rounds of the British Open but the Asian Tour money leader is confident the region will soon be celebrating another male major winner.

Lahiri was in contention after an impressive 36 holes at St Andrews but the 28-year-old suffered two back-nine meltdowns over the weekend to finish six-under for the tournament and tied for 30th, nine strokes behind champion Zach Johnson.

"A lot of it comes down to experience," the seven-time Asian Tour winner told reporters in a conference call confirming the defense of his Venetian Macau Open title in October.
