Bad weather keeps Jeev,
Atwal waiting

Inclement weather stopped play on the final day of the second stage of the US PGA Tour Qualifying School event at the Black Horse Course in Seaside, California, on Friday, thus delaying the results of two of India's brightest golfing stars -- Jeev Milkha Singh and Arjun Atwal -- by another day.

According to reports, the final round will now be completed on Saturday. After three rounds, the Hero Honda-sponsored Jeev was tied for the second place at six-under 210. Arjun was on the bubble and needed a solid final round after being in joint 20th place at three-over 219.

The top 21 players from the venue will make it to the final stage of the Q-School, scheduled to be played over six rounds at the PGA West Course at La Quinta, California from December 4-9, 2002.

The third Indian interest in the tournament, Sweden's Daniel Chopra had to withdraw from the tournament after injuring himself during the third round.

Chopra, who honed his golfing skills in India, looked like he was in contention after two rounds when he was tied for 16th place but lost ground on day three with a forgettable six-over 78 at the Stonebridge Country Club in McKinney, Texas.
