Jeev to tee off his PGA campaign from California

Jeev to tee off his PGA campaign from California
New Delhi, Feb 18: India’s highest ranked golfer Jeev Milkha Singh begins his American journey this week.

The 37-year-old Indian ace will begin his US PGA campaign with the 6.3 million dollar Northern Trust Open in California.

“I will be playing six weeks in an eight-week period and be back after the Augusta Masters,” said Jeev, who is ranked 34 in the world.

I do get frustrated on field: Dhoni

Mumbai, Feb 18: The frustration does not show but Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni today said he does get upset at times when a teammate makes a fielding mistake.
“I do get frustrated at times when a mistake is made on the field. But I feel there's no point in abusing him there. I prefer to go back into the dressing room and point out his mistake. That helps him more”, Dhoni said after unveiling the Indian team’s new one day kit—bold blue in colour—along with other teammates.

Dhoni described the forthcoming tour of New Zealand as a tough assignment but said whether at home or away, international cricket was always a difficult proposition.
“It’s better to start as underdogs (in a series). It’s going to be tough, but international cricket is tough whether at home or away. We have heard how beautiful it (New Zealand) is. We would enjoy the tour and hopefully would come back with a couple of trophies.”
