<p>India’s Anirban Lahiri is confident he can notch up his first Asian Tour win outside India after enjoying a fruitful first half of the 2013 season.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The talented Lahiri came agonisingly close to winning the Selangor Masters on Sunday after missing a birdie putt on the last hole which would have forced a play-off with eventual winner Pariya Junhasavasdikul of Thailand.<br /><br />The three-time Asian Tour winner was delighted with the conventional putter which he put in his bag for two tournaments.<br /><br />“I’ve been putting good with the short putter. I holed a lot of long putts than I would normally have with the belly putter. I’m feeling a lot more comfortable with this under pressure, so you’ll find out what I’ll bring out in September,” said the 25-year-old, who will use the conventional length putter for two more domestic events before determining what goes into his bag for the second half of the season.<br /><br />After featuring in nine tournaments, the Indian, who sits in eighth position on the Order of Merit, reckons he needs to remain composed to win outside his comfort zone.<br /><br />“I guess I have to wait a little longer for that win outside India. I’m really happy with the way I played. It was good to be in this position at the Queen’s Cup as well although it was a different story on Sunday. I learned from that. I stayed patient, kept my focus. I made a few mistakes but my temperament was much better than in the past. I took in a lot of positives,” said Lahiri.<br /><br />Lahiri remained gracious in defeat after finishing second, which swelled his earnings to $139,380 this season.</p>
