The Indian made the cut at the 60th spot, the last available quota in the Games rankings.
India was eligible for one spot and Lahiri was the highest-placed in the latest official world golf rankings at the 340th position. ''Best surprise I have got in a while. @Tokyo2020 can't believe I will have the opportunity once again to represent the tricolor,'' Lahiri tweeted.
Aditi Ashok is also in contention to make the cut for the Games for a second consecutive time but her qualification will be confirmed after the final Olympic rankings for women are released on June 29.
