Jeev Milkha Singhs cold putter left him in agony as the Indian missed the halfway cut at the Masters by one stroke. Struggling to roll his putts in,Jeev brought home three-over 75 for a two-day total of 146 to miss the cut his first time in three appearances and join the likes of Greg Norman and Ernie Els on the sidelines.
My putting let me down. I didnt putt too well and three-putted three times. I didnt hole anything, lamented Jeev. It was one of those days when you hit good putts but they dont go in, he said.
With winds swirling,Jeev was in for a torrid time. He birdied on five,erasing the bogey on the previous hole,but boarded the bogey train soon after,dropping four shots over seven holes before salvaging a final hole birdie.
However,the upside of his week was the two rounds he played with Woods. Ive enjoyed myself. I had a great pairing and he made me feel comfortable out there, Jeev said. Tiger never gives up. His recovery is fantastic and mentally hes very good. He makes sure hes got a putt for par and makes a roll at it. If he starts holing putts,hell be up there on Sunday, he added.
