Anirban Lahiri’s form in the current season has seen ups and downs. He finished a creditable second in the Players Championship but has not been able to reach such heights since the March tournament.

The Indian golfer is looking forward to the Wyndham Championship, starting on Wednesday in Greensboro, North Carolina. Because last year, it was at this meet, that he earned his PGTA Tour Card for this season.

“Wyndham is special for us Indians since Arjun (Atwal) won it almost a decade ago (in 2010). I still remember my first time here, about seven years back, and I actually tried to relive Arjun’s journey,” Lahiri said during an online PGA Tour interaction on Tuesday. “I know it has been a bit of a topsy-turvy season for me. I did well at the Players. But after I took a break (in May for the birth of his second son) I somewhat struggled. Even when I was playing well, it was not translating into good finishes.

“But I have been working on my game and hopefully this week will be fruitful. I do hope I will be able to retain my card. You can feel the nervous energy among golfers here at Wyndham. A lot depends on this week for the next season.” Asked if he was doing any special training to get his form back, he said: “Not really. I am just training well. I need to get that head space back. I needed to clean up a few nagging things in my game, and hopefully I have been able to do that with my coach.”
