Jeev Milkha Singh came close to missing the defense of his Scottish Open title and it had nothing to do with a finger injury that has troubled him since winning at Castle Stuart 12 months ago.
India's most successful golfer will be playing in Inverness this week while a movie about the life of his father Milkha Singh, an Olympic 400-meter runner from the 1960s, hits screens worldwide.
Singh says it was a "tough decision" to miss Friday's premiere of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag in India but was told by his dad to "keep doing your day job."
Milkha Singh, nicknamed the Flying Sikh," remains one of India's most successful track athletes after narrowly missing out on a bronze medal at the 1960 Rome Games. He also went to the Tokyo Olympics four years later.
