Lahiri, who started on the second hole, went to eight-under after 16 holes but closed with a par and bogey and finished seven-under for the day.

In the team event, 4Aces led by Dustin Johnson (13-under) and comprising Pat Perez (15-under), Peter Uihlein (14-under) and Patrick Reed (15-under) were the winners, while Lahiri’s team Crushers finished fifth.
