Dubai: Jeev Milkha Singh led his team to a
sixth place finish in today's pro-am but the real test for the
Indian star golfer starts tomorrow when he tees off in the
Dubai World Championship here.
Jeev and his team totalled 20-under to finish four shots
behind the team led by Retief Goosen which won the event.
Meanwhile in round one, world number 60 Jeev has been
paired with Spaniard Rafael Cabrera-Bello.
Jeev has not been in the best of form in recent times but
his stunning triumph over Lee Westwood in the Volvo World
Match Play would give him enough confidence when he tees off
at the Greg Norman-designed Earth Course of the Jumeirah Golf
Estates.
World's premier golfers are gunning for big money in the
tournament with a whopping USD 7.5 million purse.
