Indias top golfer Anirban Lahiri intends to take his time rather than rush back onto the professional tour, only after recovering from a shoulder injury which was to hamper his performance at the PGA Championship and make him play through pain at the Rio Olympics. Lahiri, slated to play on the Italian Open which begins on Thursday, will be giving it a miss. Along with the Italian Open, Lahiri may also have to give next weeks European Open in Germany a miss as well and says, This is the first time in my career that I have skipped tournaments due to injury.It has been a hectic year for Lahiri, with 2016 having its share of ups and downs. Making the cut in 16 out of 21 tournaments in his first full year on the PGA Tour is something most golfers would be pleased with -- and as the season winds down to a close, Lahiri doesnt mind reassessing his targets while he undergoes rehab for the shoulder injury that has bothered him since the end of June. It has also ruled him out of action since the Rio Olympics, and seen his world ranking drop to 84.2016 has been very frustrating and very disappointing. It was my first year in America, and though its been a poor year, its one where I have learnt a lot, says Lahiri of a year when his best finish on the tour was tied-6th at the Fort Worth Invitational in Texas in May. 2014 and 2015 were fantastic, and Im looking at the next year as a chance to make a fresh start.The PGA Tour is designed in such a way that the fresh season starts in mid-October and ends in the middle of September the following year. This is unlike the Asian and European Tour, where Lahiris consistent performances across the previous two seasons saw his world ranking go as high as 33 at one stage. That, however, was one of the minor adjustments for him.The toughest part of this year was adjusting to new courses, new conditions. The weather is so vastly different from what I have been used to, he says, citing an anomaly on the PGA Tour wherein some tournaments in the early part of the year -- the Pebble Beach event in February, for instance -- are played across more than one course during the four rounds. In Asia and on the European Tour, you normally stay in the official hotel where a majority of the field stays with you. In America, it is the opposite, says Lahiri. 2016 was the first year where I was completely on my own. You then learn how to allocate your time well.If I had to talk about 2016 in a nutshell, I would say I suffered a lot of bad weekends, says Lahiri of some strong starts that he found frittering away at the end of several events in 2016. I found myself in a very good position going into Saturday on numerous occasions, and then probably was guilty of pushing myself too hard.Comfort plays a crucial role in golf, and thats why I say the biggest challenge for me this year was playing on new courses. I would think at least 90 per cent of the field had played at least 4-5 times before, because in the PGA, tournament sponsors change all the time, but the courses rarely do. If you were to ask a Zach Johnson or a Louis Oosthuizen to come and play in the Delhi golf course, I would probably back myself to beat them. So it doesnt make them inferior golfers or me a better golfer, says Lahiri, adding with a chuckle, Thats perhaps why I enjoy playing the WGC and the majors more, because apart from the Masters, they have new courses each time and that probably levels the playing field a fair bit.Lahiri is realistic about his career curve thus far, and this is what gives him great hope for the following season. Historically, in my career, I have always been a slow starter. Also my greatest successes have come in Asia. Even European Tour events that I won have been in India and Malaysia. Even when I turned pro for the first time in 2007, I didnt win anything for a good 2-3 year period. On the Asian Tour as well, I had to take some hard knocks early on. I am just trying to learn everything every day on the PGA Tour, says Lahiri.If I can have a bad year, and still keep my PGA Tour card, I havent done all that badly. Air Max Plus Uk Cheap Online .

NEW YORK -- Just when the Mets were beginning to build some late-season momentum, three recurring injuries stalled them again.A.J. Ellis got a big hit in his Philadelphia debut, breaking a seventh-inning tie with a two-run double Sunday that sent the Phillies to a 5-1 victory over New York.Vince Velasquez and four relievers quieted a streaking Mets lineup that was minus ailing sluggers Yoenis Cespedes (quad) and Neil Walker (back).New York also lost hot-hitting shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the first inning. He exited with soreness in his left knee, a problem area that sidelined him twice earlier this year.With the way all of a sudden weve played here in the last four or five days, it took a little air out of the balloon, manager Terry Collins said.New York had won three straight and six of seven. But after outscoring Philadelphia 21-5 in the first two games of the series, the Mets squandered their chance to sweep and stayed 2 1/2 games behind St. Louis in a tight race for the second NL wild card.The way I see it, we won two of three here, won two of three in St. Louis and (weve) got a good opportunity here with Miami coming in to do some damage, Walker said. Hopefully, all is well with everybody thats kind of banged up and we can throw a good lineup out there.Collins indicated the injuries to Cespedes, Walker and Cabrera could necessitate daily maintenance for the rest of the season.Well have to continue to monitor how they feel each day, the manager said.Cabrera aggravated his knee when he collided with first baseman Tommy Joseph while beating out a bunt single. As Joseph reached for Velasquezs high throw, Cabreras left arm made contact with Josephs left hip. Cabrera appeared to twist awkwardly after the collision.At first it seemed Cabrera hurt his wrist, and he initially remained in the game. But he was noticeably limping as he advanced to second on Kelly Johnsons single. And after that, Cabrera was removed from the game and escorted to the dugout by trainer Ray Ramirez.Cabrera missed 17 games with a strained patella tendon in his left knee, returning from the disabled list with Cespedes on Aug. 19. The switch-hitter was batting .438 (14 for 32) with three homers and nine RBI since returning to the lineup.Wilmer Flores pinch-ran for Cabrera and scored on Curtis Grandersonss sacrifice fly before remaining in the game at third base.ddddddddddddJose Reyes shifted over to shortstop.Youve just got to keep fighting, Collins said. Youve just got to keep trying to get guys rested, keep them as healthy as you can and if they cant go, run somebody else out there and you hope that they come through for you when you need them.New York scratched out a mere four singles over the final eight innings.With the score 1-all in the seventh, Philadelphia loaded the bases with nobody out on singles by Joseph, Aaron Altherr and Jimmy Paredes off Robert Gsellman (1-1), who was very effective to that point in his first major league start.Hes got good stuff, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. He really mixed his pitches well. I liked what I saw from him.The rookie left to a nice round of applause from the crowd of 32,033, and gave way to Hansel Robles.Ellis drove Robles fourth pitch over Grandersons head in left field, scoring Joseph and Altherr with his first hit for the Phillies. The veteran catcher was acquired Thursday from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade for longtime Philadelphia backstop Carlos Ruiz.Pinch-hitter Peter Bourjos was hit by a pitch from Robles with the bases loaded, forcing in another run.Cesar Hernandez added a sacrifice fly to make it 5-1.David Hernandez (3-3) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.Philadelphia squandered two chances to score early in the game, when Freddy Galvis was thrown out at home on a failed safety squeeze and Altherr was cut down at the plate on Paredes fourth-inning RBI double.TRAINERS ROOMMets: LHP Steven Matz (shoulder) threw a bullpen and is expected to throw another one before coming off the disabled list to start Thursday against Miami rather than Wednesday, Collins said.UP NEXTRHP Rafael Montero (0-0, 11.57 ERA) has the difficult task of facing All-Star RHP Jose Fernandez (13-7, 2.91) in his first big league start of the season as the Mets begin an important four-game series with Miami at Citi Field. Montero will be recalled from Double-A Binghamton on Monday and last pitched in the majors on April 19. He struggled at Triple-A Las Vegas, but had a 1.70 ERA in eight starts at Binghamton. ' ' '
