Singh's major golf clubs for sale
Fiji's former golf world number one Vijay Singh missed his tee time for a US Open qualifying tournament on Monday, probably putting an end to his run of playing in 67 consecutive major golf championships over the past 17 years. The 48-year-old said after Sunday's final round of the US PGA Memorial, in which he fired a seven-under par 65, that he would not play in the Monday qualifier. The only other golf clubs for sale remaining for Singh to earn a berth into next week's US Open at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, would be to win or finish second at this week's US PGA St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tennessee. Singh was ranked World No. 1 for 32 weeks in 2004 and 2005 and is three-time major title winner, landing the 2000 Masters and the 1998 and 2004 PGA Championships. In all, Singh has 34 US PGA triumphs, the most recent in 2008. Singh's run of 67 majors in a row was aided last year by golf clubs for sale into the US Open but tournament officials have said no such exemptions are expected to be awarded this year. Vijay Singh born on 22 February 1963, nicknamed "The Big Fijian", is a Fijian professional golfer who was Number 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings for 32 weeks in 2004 and 2005. He has won three major championships (The Masters in 2000 and the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004) and was the leading PGA Tour money winner in 2003, 2004 and 2008. He was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005 with golf clubs for sale(but deferred his induction until 2006). He won the FedEx Cup in 2008. Career history Early life and amateur careerSingh recollected to reporters about his childhood: "When we were kids we couldn't afford golf balls so we had to make do with coconuts. My father used to say, 'Little Vijay, golf balls don't fall off trees you know,' so I found some that did!" Growing up, he played snooker, cricket, football, and also golf clubs for sale, rugby. He is the son of Mohan Singh, an airplane technician who also taught golf. Growing up, he admired the swing of Tom Weiskopf, using it as an early model for his own. Two years after turning professional, in 1984, Singh won the Malaysian PGA Championship. However, his career was plunged into crisis after he was suspended from the Asian Tour in 1985 over allegations he doctored his scorecard. It was alleged that he lowered his score from one over to one under in order to make the cut, but Singh denies this, saying that in any case, it should only have resulted in disqualification from the event rather than a ban. Singh felt he had been more harshly treated because the marker was "the son of a VIP in the Indonesian PGA." He then took a job at the Keningau Club in Sabah, Malaysia, before his move to the Miri golf clubs for sale in Sarawak. While this was a period of hardship for him, he continued to gain experience.He saved the money he needed to resurrect his career and began to re-enter tournaments. He won the Nigerian Open in 1988, and at the end of that year he entered the European Tour Qualifying school for the second consecutive year, and was successful on this occasion.
