It was a pretty disappointing week for the Indians at the European Masters in Switzerland with no one managing to get into the top-10. Jyoti Randhawa emerged as the best Indian on display after he carded his second successive round of one-under 70 to finish tied for 32nd place.
Jeev Milkha Singh could have made a final-day charge but a run of poor holes laid to rest his hopes of a good finish and would definitely not have gone down well with Greg Norman, who is on the prowl for his two picks for the Presidents Cup. Jeev’s 74 meant that he finished 49th on the leaderboard. Shiv Kapur, fresh from his top-ten showing at Gleneagles, had a horrid weekend, with the double bogeys refusing to get off his back and was hovering around the bottom rungs of the leaderboard. Gaganjeet Bhullar unfortunately failed to make the cut this week.

Everyone has been talking about Jeev’s great desire to be a part of the Presidents Cup but if Norman chooses not to pick him, it could well be a blessing in disguise. The dates of the Indian Open and the Presidents Cup clash this year, and if Jeev is chosen to represent the International team then he would have to forego the national open which may not be the best thing in the world. This is assuming that Jeev would give the Indian Open preference over the European Tour event that would take place that week.
Here at IGT, opinions are clearly divided and whatever the Shark decides on, it will bring joy to one camp and despair to the other.
