Jeev breaks into top-10 at Acom International after 3rd round

Ibaraki, Japan, Sep 23 (UNI) Jeev Milkha Singh continued to improve and sank in six birdies in his impressive four-under 67 card to move up to the tied sixth spot after the third round of the 43,575,000 dollar Acom International here today.

The seasoned Indian pro, who started at the tied 24th position, now has a three-day total of six-under 207 and has a chance to finish in top five as he stands five shots behind leader Mamo Osanai.

Osanai continued to lead despite a poor three-over 74 in his round.

Jeev fired birdies on the second, fifth and 10th holes in his flawless front nine to make the turn at three-under. The Indian's return journey, however, was not as smooth and he hit a bogey on the 12th and recovered to fire birdies on the 15th and 16th.

But a dropped shot on the last hole left Jeev disappointed at the scenic Ishioka Golf Club here.
