NEW DELHI: Top Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh wants to emulate the likes of South Africa’s Ernie Els as a “global player” by succeeding on different tours despite the rigours of constant travel across continents. Singh won the Asian Tour Order of Merit in 2006 when he won four titles and while he failed to add to the total this year he is confident of a strong 2008. “This was a very average year,” Singh told Reuters. “I put a lot of pressure on myself. It was obviously because of the bar I set for myself after 2006. Work harder“But I’m going to try again in 2008,” said Singh, who turns 36 on Saturday. “I’m playing well, maybe it is an awakening for me. I need to work harder and have a better year. “There are a few hitches about certain parts of my game, but you have to practice and get over it. “I want to be a global player, I want to be like Ernie Els, I want to play in Europe, in the U.S., a little bit in Japan, a little bit in Asia,” he added. “The only drawback is the travel, the jetlag. It is tough on the body and you become injury prone. “We’ve got a lot of talent and we are going to see a lot more younger people come out,” Singh added. — Reuters
