Lahiri made an impressive start for 2013, just like last year as he defended his title in the SAIL-SBI Open at Delhi Golf Club. This is his 3rd win in the Asian Tour in three consecutive years. Also noteworthy performances from 22 yr talented Rashid Khan who lost Lahiri in the playoff. Another India youngster who impressed a lot was 20 yr old Khalin Joshi who lead the tournament halfway and he was in the mix for title contention till the last day and finally finished T11 with a disappointing last hole where he triple-bogeyed. Hopefully, we will hear his name more often in future. The Indian players making it to top 20 are:
