Oct 1 (Reuters) - India's Anirban Lahiri has already enjoyed a career-best year at the highest level and is now itching to make his debut at the Presidents Cup next week when Asia will stage the biennial team competition for the first time.

Lahiri is one of five Asia-born players on the 12-man International roster set to take on the United States and he believes golf will receive a "massive" boost on his continent when the Cup is played in Incheon, South Korea from Oct 8-11.

"The Presidents Cup is going to be big news in Asia," Lahiri told Reuters.
