Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri ended his second Olympics campaign at tied-42nd place after carding a 1-over 72 in the fourth and final round. Lahiri, who began the week with a superb 67 and was inside the Top-10, slid down the ladder thereafter with rounds of 72-68-72 over the next three days for a total of 5-under 283. He had finished at 57th spot in 2016 Rio Olympics. Udayan Mane also shot a 1-over 72 in the final round after earlier rounds of 76-69-70. He was 3-over for the week and ended 56th. Xander Schauffele (68-63-68-67) became the first American to win the gold, while South African-born Slovakian Rory Sabbatini (69-67-70-61) won the silver. Chinese Taipei’s CT Pan (74-66-66-63), won the bronze in a seven-man play-off.

Mirza placed 22nd

Indian equestrian Fouaad Mirza picked up 11.20 penalty points and was placed 22nd after the cross-country round. A good round in the individual show jumping qualifier on Monday will ensure that Mirza, India’s only equestrian at the Olympics in over two decades, and his horse Seigneur Medicott remain in the top 25 and make the eventing individual jumping final in the evening. pti
