Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh made the country proud winning the Scottish Open after a final-round meltdown by local hope Marc Warren on Sunday. Singh, who is the son of an Olympic 400-meter runner, registered his fourth victory on the European Tour, to himself a spot in next week's British Open in the process.

Both players had finished with 17-under totals of 271, with Singh shooting a 5-under 67 - the joint-lowest round of the day - and overnight leader Molinari returning a 72 as he attempted a wire-to-wire victory after a dominant week in the Scottish Highlands.

Winning his first title in four years and 37 days, Singh not only will climb back into the top 100 but will play at the British Open, staged at Royal Lytham & St. Annes starting Thursday, for only the second time in his 19-year professional career.

He also won a first prize of 416,660 pounds ($645,000). His father, Milkha, placed fourth in the final of the 400 at the 1960 Olympics in Rome and the younger Singh said after his round that his dream is to play in the golf tournament at the Rio Games in 2016, when the sport returns to the Olympic program.

Singh went 95 events between his third and fourth victories, having previously won the Austria Open in June 2008.

We wish more wins in the future!
