Despite the slip-up in the final round, it was Lahiris best finish on the PGA Tour and only his second in top ten. His previous best was a tied-fifth at the 2015 PGA Championships.Lahiri had finished second last week when he lost in a playoff at the Venetian Macao Open -- an Asian Tour event.A quadruple-bogey on the third hole let Lahiris lead slip on final day and allowed Justin Thomas to make up ground.

It was obviously a harder start. I got unlucky with the tee shot and just compounded my errors. My short game again, coming up a little bit to bite me.But I tried my best. I fought back as best I could, but I just couldnt get the putts to fall on the back nine. I had numerous lipouts and then just really disappointed that I didnt birdie 17 or 18 or even 16, for that matter. Just didnt get the numbers right with my wedges. I didnt hit them close. Its very disappointing.I would have obviously liked to have gotten over the line, but its a tough pill to swallow.The six previous CIMB Classic events have all been won by an American and Lahiri could have broken the streak had he held on to the lead on the final day.Lahiri has played at the Kuala Lumpur course for the European Tours Maybank Malaysian Open every year since 2010 but it wasnt until 2014 when he had his first top-10 finish, when he ended T-10 in the event.The winner of the CIMB Classic earns $1,260,000.
