Golf-India's Lahiri rues poor Presidents start

INCHEON, South Korea, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Anirban Lahiri is savouring the 'extremely special' experience of being the first golfer from India to play at the Presidents Cup but admits he and playing partner Thongchai Jaidee did not do themselves justice on Thursday.

The International pair were hammered 5&4 by Americans Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker in the alternate shot 'foursomes' format as the United States roared to a 4-1 lead on the opening day.

While Fowler and Walker are also making their Presidents Cup debuts it was clear they handled the conditions better, particularly the large rolling greens at the Jack Nicklaus-designed course.
