Jeev Milkha Singh had a superb day on Thursday at the Luxehills International Golf Club in the first round of the Volvo China Open. In Chengdu in China, with seven birdies and an eagle, Jeev returned a card of six-under 66, despite a double bogey and a bogey in an event he won in 2006. Jeev, who ended a seven-year title drought with the win at Volvo China Open five years ago, is hoping to end a three-year winless period this week. He was two shots behind Korean Han Chang-won (64). Han, a former Asian Amateur Champion, led by one point from Northern Ireland's Gareth Maybin (65). Shiv Kapur, with four birdies and no bogeys at 68, was tied 24th while the third Indian in the fray, SSP Chowrasia (70) was tied 58th on a low-scoring day.
