Jeev tied 41st in Arnold Palmer Invitational

Orlando, Mar 27 (PTI) A final hole bogey denied Jeev
Milkha Singh an even-par card and the Indian settled for a
one-over 71 to lie tied 41st after the opening round of the
the USD 8.5 million Arnold Palmer Invitational golf
tournament here.

Indian-born Swede Daniel Chopra carded two-under 68 to be
tied 10th at the par-70 Bay Hill Club and Lodge.

Jeev was not quite at home on his front nine, the only
highlight of the stretch being his fifth hole birdie as
against a bogey treble that left him two-over at the turn.

Things looked better on his way back where birdies on the
11th and 12th holes put him even-par before the 18th hole
bogey sent him one-over.

Jason Gore fired a five-under 65 for a one-shot lead over
fellow Americans Tim Heron and Jeff Overton who returned
identical 66s. PTI AY PM
