Vijay Singh swirled in a 3-foot par putt on the last hole to win his first career World Golf Championship event Sunday at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Singh closed with a 2-under 68 for a one shot victory over fellow FootJoy player Lee Westwood (Classics Dry Premiere style #50672).


Singh, who wore DryJoys PODS Traditional (style #53597) and a SciFlex glove throughout the week, finished with a 10-under 270 total. The victory was the 32nd of his career on the PGA Tour and first on U.S. soil since the Arnold Palmer Invitational back in 2007. With the win, he is expected to move up to #4 in the World Golf Rankings ahead of this week’s final major - the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills.


Westwood, who could have moved up to No. 4 in the world with his first U.S. title in 10 years, rallied from a five-shot deficit with 11 holes to play to get within one of the lead. But he missed a 7-foot birdie on the 17th, and his 15-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the 18th to tie for the lead was left all the way. He closed with a 69 to tie for second.

Good job VeeJ.

Did Vijay "hold on" or did Mickelson let it go? Congrat's to Vijay nonetheless. He had the lowest score after 72 holes and looks solid going into the PGA.

Id say its a combination of Singh holding on, Phil throwing it away and Westwood coming up just a little bit short.
Id say Singh needs to work on his short putts (so much for the belly putter being great for short putts, eh?).
Kudos to Singh, nonetheless. He had the lowest scores after 4 rounds and thats all that matters.
