1ST INDIVIDUAL VICTORY ON PGA TOUR FOR VIJAY

Port Beach: Vijay Singh got upand-down for birdie with a putter from off the green on the final hole for a one-shot victory in the Toshiba Classic on Monday. The 55-year-old Hall of Famer edged Tommy Tolles, Tom Pernice Jr. And Scott McCarron to win for the first time as an individual on the PGA Tour Champions. He teamed with Carlos Franco to win last year’s Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf. Singh has played a limited schedule on the 50-and-over tour while continuing to compete on the PGA Tour, where he has 34 career victories. “I just put a lot of pressure on myself when I first came out here. Every time I teed up, you know, I was I thought I had to win. The more I did that, the more I didn’t win, the harder it got,” Singh said. “This week was a little different. Last week I was sick with cold and flu, and this week kind of started out that way, so my expectation wasn’t very high. I just came out here, I said, ‘I’m just going to go out and play,’” he added. The Fijian closed with a 5under 66 for a three-day total of 11-under 202 at Newport Beach Country Club.
