Jeev Milkha Singh wants to win Asian Tour

KUALA LUMPUR: Leading the UBS Asian Tour Order of Merit, Jeev Milkha Singh asserted he wants to win it and won't settle for anything less.
  
''I would like to win our Order of Merit title,'' said the Indian pro, who also has playing rights in Europe and Japan.
  
''I'll be splitting my schedule during the latter half of the year and if I play well enough in Asia, it should be good for me. Winning in China was a real highlight for sure,'' Jeev added.

 

Asian Tour Chief Executive Louis Martin was elated with the success of Jeev, who finished tied 59th in his second US Open appearance last week, and gave his thumbs-up for the first half of the year.

 

''We are absolutely delighted. Our players have produced some remarkable golf and their success in co-sanctioned events with Europe was outstanding and it showed how far we have progressed.

 

''The Pakistan Open and Aamby Valley Asian Masters (India) were welcome additions onto our Schedule which reinforces the growth of the game in Asia. We have a great ambassador in Jeev Milkha Singh leading the Asian Tour's UBS Order of Merit and talented young players keep emerging onto the scene. These are exciting times for the Asian Tour,'' he added.
