Jeev finishes tied 54th in Canadian Open

Ontaria, July 26, 2010: A wretched back-nine marred Jeev Milkha Singh's card as he turned in an even-par 70 in the final round to end tied 54th in the RBC Canadian Open golf tournament here.

The seasoned Chandigarh-pro finished with a total of three-under 277.

It was perfect start to the proceedings as Jeev slotted a birdie on the first hole. After making pars on the next six holes, the Indian gained consecutive shots on the eighth and ninth to make the turn three-under.

Things, however, went awry in the back-nine as Jeev stumbled to three bogeys -- on the 14th, 15th and 17th -- to round off the day on a disappointing note.

Swede Carl Pettersson bagged the top honours after returning his best card of the week -- a 67 -- to total 14-under 266.

American Dean Wilson signed off a stroke behind Pettersson at the second spot with a 72 in the final round.

Chowrasia ends tied 47th at Scandinavian Masters

Stockholm, July 26, 2010: SSP Chowrasia continued his erratic form to card a second successive two-over 74 and sign off tied 47th in the Nordea Scandinavian Masters golf tournament here.

Chowrasia ended his campaign with a total of four-over 292 after managing three birdies against an equal number of bogeys and a double bogey.

On yet another topsy-turvy day, Chowrasia started off with a bogey on the first hole. The Kolkata-pro made it even-par by picking up a shot on the sixth hole. And it remained even-par at the turn due to a bogey-birdie finish to the front nine.

The back-nine was disappointing as he managed to stroke in just one birdie against a bogey and a double bogey.

Swede Richard S Johnson (71) lifted the trophy with a total of 11-under 277. Argentine Rafa Echenique took the second spot at 10-under after carding a 69 in the final round.
