Jeev Milka Singh wins
in Japan with a 66

India’s Jeev Milkha Singh, pictured right, claimed his second title of the season when he stormed to a two-shot victory at the Sega Sammy Cup in Japan on Sunday.
The 2006 Asian Tour No 1, who triumphed in Austria last month, closed with a blistering six-under-par 66 at the North Country Golf Club to pip overnight leader Sushi Ishigaki by two strokes.
It was Singh’s third career win in Japan, which should move him closer to his goal of returning into the world’s top-50. Singh entered the week as the 75th ranked player in the world.
Singh accumulated rounds of 67, 74, 68 and 66 for a 275 winning total, and earned 30 million yen (approximately US$277,000).
Jeev Milkha Singh played in the Doug Sanders world boys championship during the years it was held at Aberdeen venues. In those days, one of the organisers, hotelier Stewart Spence, provided him with a new pair of golf shoes as the ones he was wearing at seen better days.
