Injury costs Jeev the title

Fukoka: An injured wrist brought misfortune for Jeev Milkha Singh as the ace Indian golfer fell short by a shot to miss out on the title at the Asahiryokuken Yomiuri Memorial 2006 golf tournament.

Tatsu Ichihara, five shots behind Jeev after three rounds, made a sensational comeback on the final day to card a five-under 67 while the Indian, after spoiling three putts on the final hole, managed only a one-over 73 to finish second.

This is Jeev's best on the Japanese Tour this season and the third runner-up finish in the year.

Ichihara, who turns 28 on November 17, picked up his first title on the Japan Tour. His previous best finish was tied second at the Mizuno Open earlier this year.

Toru Suzuki (67) was third and Hiroyuki Fujita (69) and Ike Je Chang (70) were tied fourth. — PTI
