Jeev Milkha Singh [ Images ] is back among the elites again with the latest world golf rankings putting the Indian pro on the 46th place after his sensational triumph at the Singapore Open.
Jeev claimed a thrilling one-stroke victory over multiple Major winners Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els at the Singapore Open on the Asian Tour at Sentosa Golf Club's Serapong course on Sunday.
The Chandigarh-pro went to the last hole with a one stroke lead and his par was enough for the win as Harrington and Els missed good birdie chances on the 18th.
As a result of his triumph, which also virtually assured him the Asian Tour Order of Merit title, Jeev leapfrogged 14 spots to world number 46.
Jeev pocketed US $792,500 for his exploits in Singapore, making him the first golfer to earn more than $1 million on the Asian Tour.
Meanwhile, compatriot Jyoti Randhawa, who is grappling with poor form for quite a while, continues to slip down the ladder and was placed 144th.
US-based Arjun Atwal [ Images ], who has secured his PGA Tour card for the next season, is ranked 192nd after failing to make the cut in Singapore.
The next Indian in the chart is Kolkata-pro SSP Chowrasia, who is way behind at 305th after failing to maintain his form which had seen him winning the Indian Masters last year.
