Adare (Ireland): Jeev Milkha Singh overcame a disastrous third shot on the par-five last hole to return a brilliant six-under 66 in the first round, which powered the Indian to joint lead with Australia's Richard Green at the Irish Open.
Singh was six-under playing his last hole of the day, but looked unlikely to finish as the leader when he crashed his third shot into the green-side bushes.
However, a perfect chip helped the Indian to finish off well.
Earlier, Singh began well with a birdie on the very first hole and followed it up with another one on the fifth. Then he eagled the seventh for a blemish free front nine.
The Chandigarh golfer continued his good form on the back-nine as well fired consecutive birdies on the 15th and 16th holes.
