Jeev misses title by a whisker

Jakarta: Jeev Milkha Singh came tantalisingly close to his second European Tour title only to settle for second place after a final-hole bogey dashed his hopes at the Enjoy Jakarta Astro Indonesia Open here on Sunday.

Jeev held the lead for a while too but bogeys on the 16th and 18th holes allowed Chile’s Felipe Aguilar (68) to clinch the title, and the winner’s purse of $200,000, at 18-under 262.

Though a second European Tour title slipped through his fingers, Jeev (67) was richer by $1,33,330 after finishing second at 263.

Even after the bogey on the 16th, Jeev seemed on his way to force a sudden-death play-off with Aguilar but dropping another shot on the closing hole put paid to his hopes.

Randhawa seventh

Among other Indians in the fray, Jyoti Randhawa (266) signed off with a sensational round of 62 to finish tied seventh, one shot ahead of Arjun Atwal (67) who was tied 10th.

Veteran Gaurav Ghei (274) carded 69 in his final round to finish tied 40th, one shot ahead of Shiv Kapur (70) who was tied 44th. — PTI
