A win in Bengaluru will cap a sensational finale to Lahiri's last appearance on home soil this season at the Karnataka Golf Association (KGA).

"Bengaluru is my hometown and it'll be nice if I do really well there. Again, I've got to keep pushing myself and move in the right direction from where I am today. Hopefully, I can do that," said Lahiri.

The 25-year-old started his year on a bright note when he won his second Asian Tour title at the SAIL-SBI Open in February.

Since then, he has gone on to enjoy three other top-10 finishes but it was his debut at the British Open in July that propelled him into the global spotlight.

Besides scoring an ace during his third round, Lahiri went on to finish tied 31st at Royal Lytham and St Annes, well ahead of the likes of former Open champions Padraig Harrington and Paul Lawrie, Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood. MORE
