Anirban Lahiri missed a putt on his final green which would have got him into a playoff with hard charging teammate Bryson DeChambeau, who overtook Anirban and others with a final round 8 under 63 in the 11th LIV event of 2023 in Chicago.

Anirban at four under for the day was looking like he might finally lift a LIV title but faltered with two bogeys in his final two holes to once again be content with a runner-up finish.
Lahiri fired 66-66-69 to earn US$ 1,812,500 (₹15 crores). Lahiri currently stands 10th on the LIV Golf Season Individual Standings. However his strong form makes him a possible medal prospect when he tees it up at the Hangzhou Asian Games this week.
SO CLOSE!!
