Vijay Singh won the SAS Championship on the PGA Tour Champions on Sunday at age 63, AP and Golfweek reported. Singh shot a final-round 69 to finish two shots ahead of Ernie Els in Cary, North Carolina.

It was Singh's sixth win on the senior tour for players 50 and older, and his first in three years, AP and Golfweek reported. AP reported that he had not had a top-10 finish all year before Sunday.

Singh took the lead around the turn with birdies, then finished with a string of pars, AP and Golfweek reported. Golfweek reported that Singh shot 69 in all three rounds. Els also closed with a 69.

Tim O'Neal was one shot behind late in the round, AP and Golfweek reported. AP reported that on the par-5 17th hole, O'Neal tried to hit out of a fairway bunker, but the ball hit the lip and rolled into a creek. He made a double bogey there and dropped back.

"This was a big one," Singh said, according to AP. "It's been a tough year, all year, and then I didn't know how I was going to play this morning. My back doesn't do very well in cold."

AP reported that Singh, from Fiji, has won 34 times on the PGA Tour.

The SAS Championship was the last event of the regular season. The top 72 players in the Charles Schwab Cup standings move on to the playoffs, which start next week, AP and Golfweek reported. Golfweek reported that the win moved Singh from 57th to 33rd in the points race.
