Jeev heads to Jack's tournament full of confidence

Asian Tour number one Jeev Milkha Singh takes a crack at the Memorial Tournament on the US PGA Tour starting on Thursday with his confidence boosted after a strong weekend in England.

The Indian star, last year's UBS Order of Merit champion, makes his debut in the tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus in Ohio where the world's best players are assembled this week.

Last week, Singh produced one of his best performances of the season with a tied 12th finish at the BMW PGA Championship, the flagship tournament on the European Tour. He was in contention during the final round but slipped back on the back nine.

Still, his performance has given him a huge dose of confidence as he heads into a busy time of the year where Singh will play in the US Open next month and also make his debut at the British Open in July.

Singh has played twice in the US Open previously and successfully made the cut on both occasions and after his strong showing in his US Masters debut where he finished tied 37th in April, the Indian will be looking to impress further on the global stage.

Last season, Singh produced a stellar year by winning four titles around the world and ended the season as Asia's number one.

Joining Singh in the Memorial Tournament this week is Korea's Yang Yong-eun, who triumphed twice in Asia last season. Yang missed the cut last weekend in England and will be eager to redeem himself in the US.
