Jeev finishes tied 54th in Canadian Open

Ontaria: A wretched back-nine marred Jeev Milkha Singh`s card as he turned in an even-par 70

in the final round to end tied 54th in the RBC Canadian Open golf tournament here. The seasoned Chandigarh-pro finished with a total of three-under 277. It was perfect start to the proceedings as Jeev slotted a birdie on the first hole. After making pars on the next six holes, the Indian gained consecutive shots on the eighth and ninth to make the turn three-under. Things, however, went awry in the back-nine as Jeev stumbled to three bogeys -- on the 14th, 15th and 17th -- to round off the day on a disappointing note. Swede Carl Pettersson bagged the top honours after returning his best card of the week -- a 67 -- to total 14-under 266. American Dean Wilson signed off a stroke behind Pettersson at the second spot with a 72 in the final round. PTI
