Jeev Milkha Singh

 

Jeev Milkha Singh has just won the last tournament of the European Golf Tour at Valderama. His victory was rather overshadowed by the drama surrounding Padraig Harrington and Paul Casey and their fight for the Order of Merit.

Jeev Milkha Singh is the son of Milkha Singh, who was nicknamed the Flying Sikh. The father was one of the greatest athletes that India has ever produced.

Milkha Singh ran barefoot and was gold medalist and favourite for the 400 metres in the Rome Olympics. He came fourth just a short head behind the gold medalist.
