Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh has bagged the Scottish Open title plus the final Open qualifying spot. Warren blew a three-stroke lead over the final four holes as the sportsman roared to the top on 17 under par. The 40-year-old, who had fired a final-round five-under-par 67 to storm to the top of the Castle Stuart leader board, still needed to defeat overnight leader Francesco Molinari with a birdie at the first play-off hole, the Sun reported. And not only did he pick up a 407,000 pounds first prize, he secured the last Royal Lytham spot for non-qualified players as well. The 31-year-old Rangers fan Warren , reached 20 under, but double-bogeyed the 15th and bogeyed the next two holes. “I might need help to get to sleep tonight. It’s going to be awful watching The Open. I had it in my hands,” he said.
