Jeev gets off to a good start

Jakarta: The wet and windy conditions at the Cengkareng Golf Club could not dampen Jeev Milkha Singh’s game and the Indian got off to an impressive start with a five-under 65 that had him tied third after the first round of the Enjoy Jakarta Astro Indonesia Open on Thursday.

Australia’s David Bransdon and Joost Luiten of The Netherlands carded identical rounds of 64 to share the lead as rain did not allow 42 other players to complete their rounds.

Joining Jeev at tied third were Liang Wen-Chong, Prayad Marksaeng, Juan Abbate, Kyron Sullivan, Philip Golding and Felipe Aguilar.

Among Jeev’s compatriots, Arjun Atwal looked in good nick too and was four-under with one more hole to go when rain left him stranded. Similarly, Gaurav Ghei ended the day at three-under with six more holes to go.

India’s top golfer Jyoti Randhawa mixed five birdies and three bogeys to finish with a card of 68, one shot ahead of Delhi lad Shiv Kapur.

Playing his back nine first, Kolkata pro Rahil Gangjee was even-par after three holes when he had to run for cover.

It, however, proved an erratic outing for Amandeep Johl (75) who was done in by a treble of double bogeys. — PTI
