Global accolades for Lahiri at US Open

It’s nice. It’s good to get recognized. Unfortunately golf as a sport doesn’t pull a lot of weight in our own country here.

A lot of the people who live there, including the expats, who kind of see the impact I may have or I have had so far (in the sport). And its nice to get recognized and be appreciated. People welcomed me and I was pleasantly surprised with the autographs and being asked to pose with them. It makes you want to do better. It gives you a sense of responsibility that you are playing well just for yourself but also carrying the pride of your nation.
