New father Jeev chasing double joy

THREE-TIME European Tour winner Jeev Milkha Singh is seeking to double his joy by winning the Avantha Masters which tees off at the DLF Country and Golf Club on the outskirts of Delhi today.

Jeev, the top-ranked player in the fray at 59 in the world rankings, is on a personal high following the birth of his first child less than a fortnight ago.

One of Asia’s most decorated players, Jeev admitted his focus has been divided, but believes his tied-15th finish at the Dubai Desert Classic earlier this week would inspire confidence. “I’m going to try to win this week but I’m actually more excited about the baby,” Jeev said.
