Sparkling Jeev finishes tied 8th at Qmaezaki

Omaezaki, July 30 (UNI) Jeev Milkha Singh came up with his best round of the week for yet another top-10 finish and his birdie binge saw him finish tied eight in the 120 million yen Omaezaki Golf Tournament here today.

Jeev, after rounds of 70, 68, 72 and 65 finished with a total of nine-under 275 to pocket 3,151,200 yen.

It was a dramatic round for Jeev, who began with a bogey and finished in the same manner but reeled off eight birdies in between for a remarkable round of six-under 65.

After dropping a shot in the first hole, Jeev parred the next two and then slotted three birdies in a space of five hole and then parred the ninth to complete his halfway journey at two-under.

His back nine was a scintillating affair as he birdied the 11th, parred the next and then fired four on the trot and the dropped shot on the final hole could not take the sheen off his sparkling show.

Toru Taniguchi won the title beating Tomohiro Kondo in the play-off after both were levelled at 11-under 273.
