London, Jun 6: Jeev Milkha Singh and Jyoti Randhawa played games of their lives to qualify for the prestigious US Open golf tournament slated next week.

Randhawa and Jeev authored a red-letter day for the Indian golf by carding six- and five-under on the last nine to finish inside top eight at the US Open Sectional Qualifier at Walton Heath booking their places for the year's second Major, the US Open to be played at Winged Foot.

It is the first time that two Indians have come through qualifiers for the same Major. In the past, Arjun Atwal and Randhawa played at the 2004 British Open, but Atwal came through as an automatic berth for having topped the Asian Tour in 2003.

Randhawa had six birdies on his back nine after seeming to have blown away his chances on the front nine.

After a first round one-under 71, he was one-over for front nine and then played six-under for back stretch to book his ticket. He finished his second round in 67 for a total of 138 to be tied second, eight shots behind the run away leader and topper Marten Lafeber, whose 64 and 66 saw him finish at eight-under 130.

Six players finished at five-under or less, five players finished at four-under 140 and they had a play-off to decide last two berths.

Jeev, who is having a great run this year, including winning the Volvo China Open and leading the Asian Tour Order of Merit, continued his love affair with New York.
