Lahiri good for more than a laugh

Captain Nick Price on Tuesday paid tribute to Anirban Lahiri - the first Indian to play in the Presidents Cup and the joker in the pack of Price's International team.

"He brings a great sense of humor to the team," Price told a news conference at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, venue for the 11th Presidents Cup which is being hosted for the first time in Asia and opens on Thursday.

"A lot of guys didn't realize how funny he is but he has a really good sense of humor and he's just so keen to get out there and play," said Price, noting the world No 39 had already established himself as a firm team-room favorite.
