He is also expected to be back in the top 10 of the President's Cup (to be held in Korea from Oct 8-11) standings, which if he maintains till September, will earn him an automatic spot on the International team and make him the first Indian to do so.
Lahiri returned to the top-50 after being edged out three weeks ago.
The Bangalore golfer, who finished outright fifth at the Omega European Masters, earned 7.68 points and that carried his total points to an average of 2.4360 and to 50th place.
It was a jump of 11 places from where he was after the British Open last week.
Lahiri, who won the Malaysian Open and the Hero Indian Open this season, registered his first top-5 finish since February and picked up $123,956 to take his season's tally to $925,484 on the Asian Tour and went past the Million Euro mark in Europe and is placed ninth. .
