Jeev squanders last chance

Glasgow: Jeev Milkha Singh squandered his last chance to qualify for next week’s British Open, carding a final-round one-over 72 in the Barclays Scottish Open golf to sign off tied ninth in the $5.92 million event here.

The seasoned Indian pro needed to finish among the top-five to get a berth in the British Open but a late slump put paid to his hopes and he finished with a total of seven-under 277.

At the top, Graeme McDowell (68) clinched the title by two strokes after totalling 13-under 271 with James Kingston (66) finishing second — PTI
