Another chance

DIVOTS

Jeev Milkha Singh, who was second at the Munsingwear Open KSB Cup a week back, still has an outside chance of getting into the British Open, making it truly an Indian summer at the only Major outside of the US.

Jeev, who narrowly missed picking up one of the spots at the Asian International Qualifiers in Malaysia earlier this year, can come through the Japanese Tour.

The top five on the Money List and not otherwise exempt till the Mizuno Open, get a spot at the British Open. Arjun Atwal already has a spot by virtue of having topped the Asian Money List last year and Jyoti Randhawa tied for the top at the Asian qualifiers in Malaysia.

Worst dressed golfers

Golf fashion expert Chris Davison has declared South African golfers as the worst dressed in the world. He added that those from KwaZulu-Natal led the way in being the worst.

Meanwhile, on the South African Tour, Vodacom has sponsored six tournaments and started the 'Origins of Golf Tour' as a way of improving fashion on the greens in South Africa.

The cellular company has sponsored six events and each one of them will be a R 300 000, 54-hole event. The tournaments will be played in a pro-am format. Each event will also have golf personality Dale Hayes delivering a 15-minute history of the game's origins.

Fuhr fails to qualify

Grant Fuhr, the National (Ice) Hockey League's Hall of Fame goaltender, failed to qualify for the professional Canadian Golf Tour because of an incorrect scorecard.

Fuhr, a five-time Stanley Cup champion and who entered the Hockey Hall of Fame last year, looked like he made the card after several near misses.

He signed for a 72-hole score of 293 at the Canadian Tour's Qualifying School, which was good for the 13th place.

But he was disqualified when it was discovered that his card said he shot a 76 in an earlier round when he had shot 77. Fuhr's card showed a par for 17th when he actually had a bogey.
