‘I will be back for the Open’

“My goal was to finish under par but I fell short. Mentally I’m tired and I’ll rest next week and start again at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational (in August). I must admit I was not mentally sharp enough. May be it was the highs of last week. So,I am looking forward to a week in Chandigarh. “Time to celebrate (the Scottish win). We’ll have a few parties at home. Will be nice to catch up with the family after the Scottish win and the start at the Open. My next two events will be the WGC at Akron and the PGA Championships at Kiawah Islands. I should have re-charged my batteries by then,” he added.

On the final day Jeev had one birdie on the par-5 seventh and bogeys on sixth and 15th and a double on 18th. Jeev,who has played five weeks in a row,rose to 87th last week after the win in the play-off in Scotland last Sunday. His next goal is to get into top-50 and earn him a return to The Masters Tournament next April. Jeev loves his Masters belt,which he used all week at Royal Lytham and St Annes. It looked worn out but Jeev is hopeful he can return to Augusta National to buy a new one after featuring in the prestigious tournament from 2007 to 2009. “Next year,I need a new belt,” he said laughing. “I have loved every bit of the Masters. It’s my favourite Major championship and I’m hoping to get back there.” Jeev,whose best finish at the Masters was tied 25th in 2008,also completed a personal milestone this week by making the cut which means he has now played in four rounds of all the Majors. “What I take from here is that this is my first Open where I played four rounds,” concluded Jeev.
