Queensland’s Cameron Smith narrowly missed claiming a victory in only his second tournament as a professional when India's Anirban Lahiri rolled in a 20-foot eagle putt at the final hole to snatch the Indonesian Masters title by a shot.

The 20-year-old Smith was the 54-hole leader by a stroke after rounds of 68-67-67 but his bid for an Asian Tour title did not begin well when he made a double bogey seven at the 2nd hole of the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.

Despite reclaiming one of the lost strokes with a birdie at the 3rd hole, Smith bogied the 7th and 8th holes to fall well off the pace and it appeared as he headed into the back nine he was little chance of winning. But Smith is made of tough stuff and he rattled home five birdies in the last eight holes to close with a 70 and finish at 16 under.

But it would prove not to be enough as Lahiri reached 17 under with a spectacular eagle at the final hole, which gave him his fourth Asian Tour title and his first outside of his homeland.

The 26-year-old started the final round trailing Smith by a single shot but quickly gained the ascendency with birdies at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th holes.

However a double-bogey six on the 13th after a three-hour rain delay saw the Indian ride out a tense finish as a host of players put in their bids for the title.

“I had an awkward lie on 13. During the rain delay I was just thinking that I have to get up and down there. I got a bad break there but I know Lin Wen-tang dropped a shot as well. Unfortunately I got a double bogey there but I am glad I came back strong,” said Lahiri.

With Baek holding the clubhouse lead at 16-under, Lahiri knew he had to produce a superlative effort on 18 to get the outright win.

“My mind was blank when I prepared for the last putt on 18. All I told myself was I had to get it into the hole. When I was walking up to the greens, I was actually thinking if I need to prepare for a playoff tomorrow morning,” said Lahiri.

Lahiri did not disappoint and screamed in delight when he watched his eagle putt drop into the cup.

“It’s really great to get my first win outside of India. I have missed out on it for a long time and I am so glad I managed to do it today. I need the world ranking points so I am really happy I can win this week,” said Lahiri.

Smith, who needed to eagle the final hole to tie Lahiri, narrowly missed his three at the 72nd hole but tapped in for a birdie to secure his runner-up finish.

He says his game is getting better after graduating from the Asian Tour Qualifying School earlier this year.

“This is my best result so far in a professional tournament. It would have been good to win but I guess this is just another day. This has definitely boosted my confidence in my game,” Smith said.

“I hit the ball well and putted well. There is not much more than you can really do. I am looking forward to the next tournament already.”
