India's Jeev Milkha Singh recovered from a poor start to maintain his position on top of the leaderboard in the second round of the Irish Open yesterday. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/jul/Jeev.jpg" border="5" /> Jeev Singh Singh matched the lowest round of his career in the first round on Thursday when an eight under par 63 put marquee names Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell in the shade. The 39-year-old son of a former Olympic sprinter hit an eagle and six birdies on Thursday, but found it harder to continue that inspired form 24 hours later. Although Singh couldn't repeat his opening round heroics, he still remains in first place after a one under par round of 70 put him two strokes ahead of England's Simon Wakefield and Raphael Jacquelin of France, who are tied in second on seven under par for the tournament.

India would have won on a better pitch, says Bhutia
