Posted by 4moles Editorial Desk 11 Aug 08'

August 10: Jeev Milkha Singh, created history by becoming the first ever Indian to essay a top-ten finish at a Major championship here yesterday. Jeev's final round card of three-over 73 ensured he aggregated five-over 285 for a tied-ninth finish at the 90th edition of the PGA Championship played at the par-70, 7,395 yard, Oakland Hills Country Club at Bloomfield Township, Michigan. The Chandigarh based pro, pocketed USD 176,725 for his efforts.

Meanwhile Padraig Harrington recorded his second straight Major win at with a final round 66 (his second in two days), to aggregate three-under 277 for the week. The win earned the Irishman a whopping USD 1,350,000. Harrington had earlier successfully defended his title at the British Open last month.  
 
Spain's Sergio Garcia finished tied-second with Ben Curtis at one under 279. The duo took home USD 660,000 each. Tied-fourth at 281 were Camilio Villegas (Columbia) and Henrik Stenson (Sweden) who each were richer by USD 330,000.

A first tee starter, Jeev's front-nine was an epitome of consistency with a sea of pars interrupted by a lone birdie on the third. On his back-nine however, Jeev failed to find his rhythm to drop shots on the 11th, 13th, 14th and 18th to finish with a card of 73. 

Earlier round-three, which was washed out on Saturday, was completed where Jeev played to even-par 70 with three birdies (seventh, ninth and 12th ) and as many bogeys (eighth, tenth and 14th).

Harrington's round began with a par followed by a birdie on the second. A bogey on the fifth was offset by a birdie on the very next hole. Making the turn at one-under, Harrington caught fire to stud his card with birdies on the tenth, 12th, 13th and 17th. A lone bogey figured on the 14th

Overnight leader Holmes had the worst possible final round, with a 11-over 81witnessing his slide to a tied-29th place finish.
