India’s Jeev Milkha Singh birdied the first play-off hole to defeat Italy’s Francesco Molinari and claim the Scottish Open golf title on Sunday.
Jeev, who had been five shots off the lead going into the final round, hit a five-under 67 to finish on 17 under . Molinari held his nerve to birdie the final hole for a par 72 to send the tournament into the play-off.
Back on the 18th, Molinari left his birdie putt well short while Jeev confidently held his testing attempt to add the Scottish Open to his wins at the 2006 China Open, Volvo Masters and 2008 Austria Open. — AFP
