Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh is in danger of missing his second successive cut after turning in a disappointing two-over 74 in the opening round of the Memorial Tournament.

Lying tied 87th, the Chandigarh-pro, who missed the cut at last week's Crowne Plaza International in Texas, could suffer a similar fate if he fails to raise his game at the Muirfield Village Golf Club.

It was a steady start to the proceedings as Jeev found a birdie on the second and parred next four holes.

A double-bogey on the seventh hole made it one-over for Jeev but a birdie on the ninth had him even-par at the turn.

The back-nine was a tumultuous affair and Jeev stumbled to four bogeys against a couple of birdies to round off a rather disappointing day.

At the top, it was a three-way tie for the lead between England's Justin Rose, American Rickie Fowler and Australian Geoff Oglivy after all three of them opened with 65s.
