AKRON, Ohio: Vijay Singh gave himself an ideal warm-up for next week's PGA Championship, overcoming an erratic display with his putter to win the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational by one shot at Firestone Country Club on Sunday.
The smooth-swinging Fijian squandered an early two-stroke lead with an untidy run around the turn before holding on to clinch his first victory in a World Golf Championship event.
Joint pacesetter overnight with American Phil Mickelson and Britain's Lee Westwood, Singh fired a 2-under-par 68 for a 10-under total of 270.
