Big Game
Oh! the game needs better skills," grimaced filmstar Shilpa Shetty as she tried a simple putt, and failed. "I need to take up golf more seriously." But seriously ... The turnout at the $280,000 (Rs 1.2 crore) Hero Honda Masters -- part of the Asian PGA tour -- at Delhi Golf Club last week had Hero Honda md Pawan Kant Munjal thinking about "getting involved with golf in a bigger way". Vece Paes was there discussing Leander with fellow sporting dad Milkha Singh whose son Jeev finished sixth. About 15,000 others -- cricketer Geoff Boycott among them -- also watched as South African Sammy Daniels and defending champ Jyoti Randhawa gave the spectators thrilling moments till the end. Randhawa's nerves won the day -- and a cheque of $32,300 (Rs 13.8 lakh). No cash crunch here.
