Singh rallies in Byron Nelson

IRVING, Texas -- Vijay Singh won the Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday after a contentious week that began with comments about Annika Sorenstam. He then promptly withdrew from the Colonial, a tournament he said Sorenstam had no business playing in.

Singh insisted his decision not to play this week's Colonial was not related to Sorenstam, but merely a chance to take some time off and enjoy his latest win.

"It has nothing to do with the controversy," Singh said. "I've played in four straight tournaments, and I need a break."

Singh said he had promised his wife he would take the week off if he won Sunday.

"It was decision not taken at all this week. It was a two-week affair," Singh said. "You know, I said if I won a tournament, I would take a week off. It just came at the right time, I guess."

After his runner-up finish last week in North Carolina, Singh said Sorenstam didn't belong in the Colonial, and that he hoped she missed the cut. Before the Nelson, Singh said he was sorry if his comments came across as a personal attack.

Singh rallied on the back nine Sunday after losing his lead to a surging Nick Price. He made birdies on the 15th and 16th holes for a 4-under-par 66 and finished at 15-under 265, two strokes ahead of Price. Robert Allenby, playing for the first time since the Masters, finished at 268 after a 65, which also was Price's final-round score.

It was the 13th career victory and second of the season for Singh, who won $1 million to push his season earnings to $2.9 million, fourth on the money list. He's the fifth multiple winner this season on the PGA Tour.

Bayer Advantage

PARKVILLE, Mo. -- Jay Sigel sank a 9-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a one-stroke victory over a surging Mike McCullough in the Bayer Advantage Celebrity Pro-Am.

Sigel, 59, shot a 7-under 65 in the final round to become the oldest player to win on the Champions Tour this year. He finished with an 11-under 205 to hold off the 58-year-old McCullough, who had pulled into a tie with three straight birdies on the final nine holes.

Deutsche Bank

ALVESLOHE, Germany -- Tiger Woods failed to mount a final-round comeback at the Deutsche Bank-SAP Open as Padraig Harrington beat Thomas Bjorn on the first hole of a playoff for his seventh career title.

Woods, trying to win the event for the third straight year, was never in contention. He was nine strokes back after a 4-under 68 in the final round and finished tied for 29th at 10-under 278.

Harrington made an 5-foot par putt on the first playoff hole to beat Bjorn.
