Vijay Singh wins the SAS Championship on the PGA Tour Champions at age 63, closing with a 3-under 69 to finish two shots ahead of the field. Multiple outlets report that the victory makes him the second-oldest player to win on the tour.
According to accounts from Yahoo Sports and NDTV, Singh’s push comes after a three-way tie on the leaderboard, when he strings together four birdies during a six-hole stretch around the turn. He then protects his lead by avoiding major mistakes, including a run of six straight pars to close out the tournament. Yahoo Sports reports that Ernie Els finishes second, also supporting the two-shot margin. The Winnipeg Free Press similarly highlights the age-focused milestone as Singh claims his sixth title on the PGA Tour Champions at the event in Cary, North Carolina.
