June 20, 2013. Indians have had a slightly slow start at the Selangor Masters in Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Malaysia. Abhinav Lohan with an even par round is the top Indian on the leader board. Tied 19th, a birdie on the 5th was erased by a bogey on the 8th. Anirban Lahiri made mostly pars along this course, with just one birdie on the par 5 fifth hole. A double bogey on the 9th was a set back and a bogey added up on 15th. He got eight out of nine greens in regulation along the first nine holes. Anirban finished two over par 73.
Also tied 38th Rahil Gangjee wrapped up with a two over par 73. He began his round with a bogey on a par 5 hole but quickly made up with a birdie to follow up. Although the front nine held up with pars for the rest of the holes, the back nine was dotted with some bogeys. Birdies on the 2nd, 12th and 16th helped control the bogey-damage.
