Humble, Texas ? Vijay Singh waited patiently for a break in the final round of the Shell Houston Open. John Daly finally gave him a big one on the first extra hole.

Taking advantage of Daly’s playoff drive that skipped into the water, Singh overcame putting problems and a long birdie drought to win the tournament for the second straight year and third time in four years.

“I’m really pleased with the way I hung in there and never gave up,” Singh said. “Fortunately for me nobody came out of the pack except for John and kind of made a run at it. It was a good way to finish.”

Daly, who birdied the final two holes for a 5-under 67 to match Singh at 13-under 275, sent his drive on the first extra hole, the par-4 18th, into the water. Then, after a drop, Daly sent his third over the green.

Singh, who had only two birdies in his closing 70, made par for his 26th PGA Tour victory. The 42-year-old Fijian earned $900,000 to pass Tiger Woods for second place on the money list with $3,836,413, just $6,043 behind Phil Mickelson. Singh pushed his career total to $40.5 million, second to Woods. Jose Maria Olazabal (70) was third at 11 under.
