Milkha Singh hoping to catch Norman’s eye at European Masters

NEW DELHI, Sep 2: Jeev Milkha Singh hopes to catch the eye of Presidents Cup captain Greg Norman at this week’s European Masters after recovering from a rib muscle injury. Norman is captain of the International team to play the U S next month and makes his two wildcard choices on Tuesday.

“Obviously it’s on my mind but it’s his call at the end of the day,” Singh told reporters on Wednesday. “I’m glad to be back playing again and I feel my game is coming round,” added the world number 43, Asia’s highest profile player at Crans.

“I finished 12th on the (International) team rankings, the top 10 are in and he has two picks. I’ve never played the Presidents Cup and I’d dearly like to be in after watching all the top players in the world playing in it,” said Singh. “I would love to get the call from Greg. I’m sure he’ll be looking at how things go here this week.”

Singh returns to Europe on the back of a 17th place in the Wyndham Championship in the U S two weeks ago. “I played rock-solid in the Wyndham, it shows the confidence is coming back after the injury,” he said. This week’s $2.8 million tournament in the Swiss Alps is the first in Europe to be co-sanctioned with the Asian Tour. (Agencies)
