Anirban had a much better -1 in the second round and is currently T-37 (with some players still on the course). He is basically certain to make the cut.

Overall, he is 66th in the Fedex playoff point standings with the top 70 advancing to the next leg. So, he will need to finish well here as around 15 or so players behind him in the playoff standings are also likely making the cut.

2 under par round 3 for Anirban Lahiri and he has slipped to T53.
Anirban started well with 3 birdies in first 5 holes, but in next 12 holes he had 4 bogeys and a double bogey. However he was able to birdie the last hole.

Anirban Lahiri scored a 2 over par final round and has finished the tournament T56.
In FedEx Cup rankings, he just managed to finish 70th and has qualified for the 3rd playoff event i.e. BMW Championship.

Anirban is the 70th and last qualifier into the 3rd Fedex cup playoff event. Only the top 30 make the final Tour championship (the 4th event of the Fedex Cup playoffs),so he'll pretty much have to finish in the top few to have a chance to advance.

Anirban is currently -3 in the final round and T-15 overall at the turn. However, he has done pretty poorly in the back 9 in this tournament even though the back 9 has the 3 easiest holes.

He is 61st overall in the Fedex cup standings and has no real chance of making the tour finals (limited to top 30).

Finished T9 in his last tournament of the season for a final FedEx standing of 51.

Not bad but could have been so much better if his short game worked.

Anirban also is 48th on the official PGA tour money list with a little under $2MM. So, overall a solid year for him...

So he comfortably retains his PGA tour card. An up and down year (more down than up), but an excellent way to finish it. Hopefully next year will be better, and he'll get to play the Master's again.
