Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri was undone by an errant front-nine as he turned in a one-over 71 in the second round to miss the cut at the Dean & Deluca Invitational on the PGA Tour here.
Lahiri, who had a disappointing six-over 76 on first day, was three-over 38 for the first nine, which was the back nine of the course.
He had doubles on Par-4 15 and Par-4 18th and that damage alone was ruin his chances. He also had a bogey on 12th and a birdie on 13th. Two birdies and seven pars on the second nine were not enough. He totalled seven-over 147 while the cut fell at three-over 145.
It marked the first time since 2014 that Lahiri had missed three cuts in a row and the first time since he became a member of the PGA Tour. He has now missed cut at the PLAYERS, AT&T Byron Nelson and now Dean & Deluca, where he had finished sixth in 2016. Lahiri will play the Memorial next week.
Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth, who is coming off two consecutive missed cuts, redeemed himself as he recovered from a bad start by going five-under over his final 13 holes at the Colonial on Friday.
