India’s Golfing greats Anirban Lahiri and SSP Chawrasia will put their epic rivalry to one side when they team up together for the first time ever at the EurAsia Cup that kicks off today. They will show their might against Englishmen Tyrrell Hatton and Ross Fisher in the sixth and final match at the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club.
This is Anirban Lahiri’s third appearance in the EurAsia Cup
Lahiri, who has contributed three points for Team Asia in the last two editions in the EurAsia Cup, believes his camaraderie with Chawrasia will give them an edge over their talented opponents.
“I think it was a natural decision for Arjun, S.S.P. and myself. I think S.S.P. and myself are very comfortable playing with each other. We have great communication. We have played so much golf together. We were at the Olympics a couple years ago, and I think we have very complementary game styles,” shared Lahiri.
After representing their country together in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the Indian pair hopes to do their part and guide Team Asia to their first victory in the EurAsia Cup, which was won by Team Europe in the 2016 edition.

Green, the reigning Asian Tour Order of Merit champion and Ikeda, who is 36th in the world and is the highest ranked player in Team Asia, hope to inspire the team by putting an early point on the scoreboard.
Exciting young Thai talent Phachara Khongwatmai, who is the youngest player in the elite field at the age of 18, will have the experienced Hideto Tanihara of Japan for company in their match against Ireland’s Paul Dunne and Sweden’s Alex Noren.
Team Asia’s captain Arjun Atwal has put his faith in a predominantly young Asian team and the Indian believes Phachara will deliver the goods against Thomas Bjorn’s Team Europe.
