HOUSTON, April 27: World number two Vijay Singh earned his second PGA Tour title of the season on Monday by winning the Houston Open by two strokes. The Fijian, who also won the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February, shot a four-under-par 68 in the weather-delayed final round to finish on 11-under 277.

Scott Hoch took second place with a final-round 67 that left him on 279. John Huston, who had been tied with Singh for the lead after the completion of the third round on Monday morning, carded a 71 and placed third on 280.

Stephen Ames of Trinidad and Tobago and Dudley Hart shared fourth place on 282. Australia's Geoff Ogilvy took 10th place on 284, his best showing on tour this season. After three days of persistent rain, the sun finally broke through at Redstone Golf Club on Monday.

Singh, who had completed 12 holes in third round on Sunday before play was stopped, parred his way in to complete 54 holes on seven-under 209. The Fijian got off to a great start in the final round with birdies on the first and third holes and then added another at the 11th.

As Singh continued his steady play, the challengers drifted away, leaving Hoch to mount the biggest challenge, pulling within one shot when he birdied the par-5 15th hole. Then Singh, playing two groups behind Hoch, also birdied the 15th after hitting his drive in the rough.
