FARMINGTON, Sept 27: Vijay Singh continued his extraordinary run with victory in the Pennsylvania Classic on Sunday, completing his fifth PGA win in six starts and breaking Tiger Woods's single-season earnings record.
The world number one shot a final-round 69 to win by one stroke from American Stewart Cink and seal his eighth title of 2004. Singh, who knocked Woods off the top of the world rankings this month for the first time in over five years, took his prize money for the season to $9,455,566, breaking the record Woods set in 2000.
"Winning doesn't get old," Singh told reporters. "I love it. I never get tired of it." The Fijian also won the U.S. PGA Championship last month, his third major title. Pat Perez, Zach Johnson, Chris DiMarco and Jonathan Byrd tied for third place in Pennsylvania.
