MUMBAI, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Anirban Lahiri's impressive showing at the PGA Championship represents solid evidence that Asia could soon be celebrating another major winner, Australian professional Scott Hend said on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old has won twice on the European Tour this season and recorded India's best ever result at a major by finishing tied fifth at Whistling Straits on Sunday, seven shots adrift of winner Jason Day of Australia.
The Asian Tour money leader was also in contention midway through the British Open at St Andrews last month but suffered back-nine meltdowns on his final two rounds to finish six-under for the tournament and tied for 30th.
