Indian prospect Anirban Lahiri is fully prepared for his baptism of fire when he makes his Major debut at the British Open on Thursday. The 25-year-old Lahiri, who is a two-time winner on the Asian Tour, earned his place in the world’s oldest Major through International Final Qualifying - Asia and has been eagerly waiting to line-up alongside the world’s greatest players. “Of the four Majors, the Open and the Masters are probably the hallowed events,” said Lahiri. “Growing up, that’s where you want to be — it’s been a dream of mine. I’m really fortunate and privileged that I will be a part of an event like this.”
