New York, August 25: A hole out for an eagle from 90 feet was one of Anirban Lahiri's few bright spots on yet another day of missed putts, as he carded five-over 75 in the Northern Trust 2017, the first of the FedExCup play-offs.

Lahiri's 75 placed him 110th and in danger of missing the cut. Though he was 61st starting the week and should stay on for the next event, too.

Lahiri is the first Indian to figure in the FedExCup play-offs. He qualified last year but skipped it.

The leader was Russell Henley, who found his form at the right time with a 64 after a series of not-so-good results.

Lahiri started with a bogey-double to be three-over in two holes. His only birdie came on the third, when he putted from eight feet and then he missed a bunch of putts under 10 feet and had bogeys on eighth and ninth to turn in four-over 59.

On the back nine, he eagled 13th with a hole out from the intermediate and then bogeyed 14th, 15th and 17th. He ended with 75 and would need a solid second round to make the cut.

The top-100 in the FedExCup after this week advance to the second Playoff event at the TPC Boston.
