India’s Anirban Lahiri, a three-time champion on the Asian Tour, talks on the things that he does to relax, his favourite club in the bag and the best dish that he can serve.

What’s the most memorable moment of your career so far?
It keeps changing as my career progresses! It’s difficult to say ... it’s a close tie between my hole in one at the British Open several years ago and the EurAsia Cup in March where Asia drew with Europe.

What do you do to relax when you’re at home?
I love to sleep, watch movies and hang out with friends when I’m home as we’re on the road so much.

What’s your favourite club in the bag?
This is another thing that keeps changing ... Every week it’s a different club! But, I’ve been very happy with my driver in the past one year.

What’s your favourite movie?
Shawshank Redemption.

What did you think of the inaugural EurAsia Cup presented by DRB-HICOM?
It was a milestone event. It turned out better and bigger than what everyone had expected. I am happy, honoured and privileged to be a part of Team Asia, especially to come back from the first day (where Asia lost 0-5). It was a tremendous week.

Who is your favourite female golfer?
I don’t really follow ladies golf...

What’s your favourite food on Tour?
I’ll definitely say sushi and sashimi.

One sentence to describe the Asian Tour?
It feels like my home away from home.

Funniest thing a golf fan or player has said to you?
After winning a tournament, I was asked by a fellow pro-am partner what I do for a living!

Who’s your favourite superhero?
It’s got to be Batman. The Dark Knight series made him a bigger superhero.

What are your favourite sports apart from golf?
I used to play a lot of squash. I can’t anymore because of injury. It’s a great sport.

What’s better for you? A hole in one or loads of birdies?
I’ll take loads of birdies any day.

If you cook, what’s the best dish you can make?
I actually can make a lot of good dishes. At the risk of sounding like I’m beating my own trumpet, I think I’m a decent cook. My mutton curry is probably what my friends love the most.
