INCHEON, South Korea, Oct 11 (Reuters) - India's Anirban Lahiri had hoped for a chance at redemption on the final day of his debut President's Cup but when it eventually came, on the final hole of a pivotal singles tie against Chris Kirk, the rookie crumbled.
Kirk had holed a downhill 15-foot putt on the last that left the 28-year-old Lahiri, who had lost both previous matches in Incheon, with three-and-a-half feet to tie the American and move the Internationals onto 13.5 points in the race to 15.5.
With Australian Marc Leishman and South African Brandon Grace ahead in the final stages of their matches, the Internationals were agonisingly close to only their second win over the United States and first since 1998.
