Jeev leaves Presidents Cup call to Norman

Crans Montana (Switzerland): Jeev Milkha Singh did not get the sign-off he was looking for and the ace

Indian golfer has now left it to International Team captain Greg Norman to decide if he merits a berth for the Presidents Cup. Jeev wrapped up his campaign with a disappointing three-over 74 to finish with an aggregate of three-under 281. The reigning Asian Tour number one endured a tough back nine at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club, coming home in 39 as he finished in the lower half of the leaderboard. Jeev was hoping to put in a strong showing in the Swiss Alps to boost his chances of a call-up from Norman, who will announce his two picks on Tuesday. The Indian had finished 12th on the team rankings, two rungs outside automatic selection after missing several weeks of action through a rib injury. Asked if he felt he had done enough to catch Norman`s eye this week, Jeev said, "I don`t know. I played well, I`m playing well. It`s the captain`s choice." Dwelling on today`s round, Jeev said, "I was hanging in there. But it was a bad way to finish. The back nine got me again. I think the 12th hole (where he bogeyed today) is the one that has taken the toll on me. "I was pushing it too much. I was one under and was trying to be too aggressive on the back nine and went the other way. The course can eat you up but that`s alright as I tried," he said. Bureau Report
