Lahiri starts with 3-under 69; Spieth in lead
Anirban Lahiri made a solid start with a 3-under 67 that placed him in tied-23rd position after the first round of the Travelers Championship. The Indian ace had four birdies, two on either side of the turn, against one bogey on the third hole. Jordan Spieth was in lead, sharing it with Zach Johnson. Both shot a 7-under 63. Lahiri putted much better than he has in the last few weeks. That was despite missing a few between 10 and 15 feet and there was also one missed putt from inside four feet. But he also drained one from over 20 feet.
