Jeev in fact gave up his title defence at the Singapore Open this week to back himself for a Volvo treble and the Indian, despite nursing an ankle injury, is confident of making his mark.

“The Volvo China Open victory re-launched my career, and the Volvo Masters (also in 2006) win has, probably, been the biggest breakthrough in my career so far,” said Jeev.

“Volvo has been great for me, great for golf and they understood when I was unable to defend the Volvo China Open when I qualified for the US Masters, and it's good to be able to reciprocate this year,” said the affable Indian.
