  NEW DELHI, Nov 3 - Jeev Milkha Singh, who won his second 2006 European tour event last weekend, is aiming to become the first Indian to qualify for the Masters golf tournament.

  The 34-year-old Asian Tour Order of Merit leader won the Volvo Masters to reach a career-best 77th place in the world rankings. A top 50 place would give him automatic entry to the opening major of the year.

  "It hasn't set in yet," he told the Asian tour Web site on Friday. "It's certainly a dream come true, to win one of the biggest events of the year in Europe.

  "A goal of mine now will be to get into the top 50 in the world which will also earn me an invite to the U.S. Masters."
