Jeev joint 36th

Adare Manor (Ireland): Jeev Milkha Singh endured another tough day at the Irish Open golf tournament as he stuttered to a three-over 75 in the penultimate round to slip to the tied 36th spot on the leader-board.

Jeev, who was tied for the lead on the first day, has found the going tough after the opening-round burst and his 75 on Saturday took his total to one-over 217.

Jeev is the only Indian left in fray after the trio of Jyoti Randhawa, Shiv Kapur and S.S.P. Chowrasia failed to make the cut.

At the top, Welshman Bradley Dredge turned in a sparkling six-under 66 that elevated him to the top of the leader-board on nine-under 207 — PTI
