Emotional Singh dedicates win to wife

India's Jeev Milkha Singh overcame personal tragedy to win the Golf Nippon Series JT Cup today and dedicated the two-stroke win at the event to his wife only days after she gave birth to their stillborn child.

With his wife recovering from the ordeal of delivering their first child, Singh initially decided to pull out of the tournament but was urged to play and went on to win by two shots from defending champion Brendan Jones, David Smail and Taichi Teshima after carding a final-round 66 to finish 12-under.
