Fiji’s Singh captures WGC-Bridgestone Invitational golf
Vijay Singh
Vijay Singh won the final tune-up before the last major of the year, shooting a two-under 68 in the fourth round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Singh won Sunday's eight million dollar event by one stroke over runner-ups Stuart Appleby (68) of Australia and England's Lee Westwood (69).
"I just had to be confident over it," he said of his final putt on No. 18. "I started off today feeling confident but towards the end of the round I got a little nervous."
Singh, a Fijian-Indian, finished with a 10-under 270 total after starting the final round tied for the lead with Phil Mickelson and Westwood.
Singh rolled in a par putt from four feet at the final hole to cap his round and earn his 32nd career USPGA Tour win.
Singh now has the most career wins by a non-American player, one more than Harry "Lighthorse" Cooper.
