Jeev in joint lead

Adare (Ireland): Jeev Milkha Singh overcame a disastrous third shot on the par-five last hole to return a brilliant six under 66, which powered the Indian to joint lead with Australia’s Richard Green at the Irish Open.

Singh was six-under-par playing his last hole of the day but looked unlikely to finish as leader when he crashed his third shot into the green-side bushes.

However, a “perfect chip” helped the Indian to finish well.

“I was just trying to chip it out from there and it came out perfect. Missed the hole and went to about 40 feet away. I was happy with that.

“I said okay, I know I can make a six, but when I rolled that putt, I know it looked pretty good, like it was going in, and it did. And that’s the story of the day really — I made a lot of great up and downs today,” Jeev said. Earlier, Singh began well with a birdie on the very first hole and followed it up with another birdie on fifth and eagled the seventh for a blemish free front-nine. — PTI
