Chowrasia on the Asian Tour.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cWhenever I\u2019m talking to these guys, I tell them that if I can turn the clock back and put myself in their shoes and if I were to look at Jeev Milkha Singh, I would say \u201chey man, if Jeev won 21 out of X number of tournaments all over the world and he\u2019s been in the top-50 in the world, I will do better than him,\u201d said Singh, who was Asia\u2019s number one in 2006 and 2008.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cThere is a lot of talent in the country. The boys are playing really well. Gaganjeet has proven himself by winning twice this year. Himmat Rai, Anirban Lahiri, S.S.P.&nbsp; all these guys are playing so well and it\u2019s just fantastic to see and push me too,\u201d added Singh.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>A return to the Sentosa Golf Club where he won the Barclays Singapore Open in 2008 evokes fond memories for the six-time Asian Tour winner and he is delighted to grace the fairways again.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI\u2019m very happy that I\u2019m back at the golf course where I won. It\u2019s a very challenging golf course and requires lot of patience and I think scoring is not going to be that low. I feel that the winning score will be between six to 10 under,\u201d said Singh, who will be playing his opening two rounds with Japan\u2019s Tetsuji Hiratsuka and Scotland\u2019s Richie Ramsay.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The Asian Tour honorary member showed that he can stand tall among the European giants when he secured his third win on European soil in July and believes India will rise to become a dominant force in the world of golf.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI think we\u2019re close. I think it all depends on week to week and if you\u2019re having a good week and you\u2019re mentally strong that week. It could be anytime. I think we are strong enough to win tournaments anywhere in the world.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>We\u2019re playing well and my goal obviously is that before my golfing career is over, I would like to win a Major championship. I feel like I\u2019ve got another nine years in me. I\u2019m 41 and hopefully I\u2019ll do that,\u201d said Singh.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>India will be represented by a total of 11 players at the Barclays Singapore Open, which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore: India\u2019s&nbsp;Jeev Milkha Singh believes the current crop of golfers from India will be ready to take on the world as he prepares his title assault on the US$6 million Barclays Singapore Open which tees off on Thursday.&nbsp;Long regarded as a role model to the younger generation of Indian golfers, Singh is confident that golf [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[1065,6980,517,1063,147],"class_list":["post-11446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-latest","tag-anirban-lahiri","tag-barclays-singapore-open","tag-gaganjeet-bhullar","tag-himmat-rai","tag-jeev-milkha-singh"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jeev sees future of Indian golf at Singapore Open - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
