Singh tames monster

VIJAY SINGH, the 2000 champion and world number two, yesterday demonstrated that the newly revamped Augusta National golf course need not be the kind of monster that many had predicted.

The 41-year-old Fijian performed what many believed to be the impossible by keeping a bogey off his card in shooting a five under par 67.

The unrated Rocco Mediate, 43, and up-and-coming Arron Oberholser also showed it can be done by going below 70.
