Jeev finishes 14th in Japan

October 09, 2005 15:48 IST

Jeev Milkha Singh [ Images ] carded a one-under 71 in the final round to finish tied 14th at the 120 million

Yen Coca Cola Tokai Classic at the par-72 Miyoshi Country Club West Golf Course in Tokyo on Sunday.

It was a disappointing result for the Indian after having led on the first day and being tied second at midway stage.

Young Eun Yang played some brilliant golf with a five-under 67 on the final day to grab the title, which was the third in his career. It also took him to tenth place on the Money List in Japan [ Images ].

Jeev, who had a flurry of birdies on first day, had just two on final day on the second and ninth and he also dropped a shot on 13th.

He took 30 putts but struggled on the fairways. However, to his credit, Jeev played on for three days despite being hit with flu.
