Reno-Tahoe Open: Jeev drops to tied 42nd after round 3

RENO, US, Jul 18 (UNI) Indian ace Jeev Milkha Singh produced a disappointing card of three-over 75 to slip 25 places andbe at tied 42nd after the penultimate round of the Reno-Tahoe Open golf tournament here.

Jeev managed only one birdie against a couple of bogeys and a double bogey to take his three-day total to even-par 216.

Getting off to a steady start, Jeev soon dropped a stroke on the third hole to go one-over.

Though he quickly made amendments producing his lone birdie of the day on the fourth hole, but a double bogey on the seventh and a bogey on the ninth did all the worse to his card.

His back-nine was, in contrast, a better one as the Chandigarh pro parred all the nine holes.
