Jeev tied 41st in rain-hit Volvo Masters

By IANS,

Valderrama : Jeev Milkha Singh was even par through 10 holes and at tied 41st place in the third round when rain once again stopped play at the Volvo Masters here.

Jeev, whose second round 77 messed up his chances of a top-10 finish, had one birdie and one bogey and is now nine-over with eight holes in the third round yet to play.

Soren Kjeldsen and Sergio Garcia were both locked at five-under par at the top of the leaderboard.

Lee Westwood chasing both the tournament and The Order of Merit is just a shot further back. Kjeldsen held a two-shot lead after the rain hit second round was completed but he dropped a shot at the first to be one over for his round after six holes.

Garcia, winner of last week’s Castello Masters Costa Azahar at his home course, was one under for his round after seven holes, thanks to a birdie at the par five fourth.

In the race for the Order of Merit and the Harry Vardon Trophy, Westwood has to win and hope for current leader Robert Karlsson to finish outside the top three.
