Singh holds off Scott to win Mercedes
Vijay Singh (-14) won the first PGA tourney of the year by two strokes over Adam Scott. After a disappointing year, Vijay trained even harder during the offseason, with workouts twice a day mixed in with 5 hours of hitting balls on the range.
When asked how long he can win, Vijay (who's almost 44) replied, "Fred Funk won a golf tournament when he was 48, and I'm a lot bigger and a lot stronger than Freddie Funk," Singh said. "If he can win at 48, what makes me think I'm not going to win when I'm 50? If I'm healthy and playing the way I'm doing right now ... five, six, 10 years, I don't know. I'm just going to keep going." (More from ESPN)

I'd like to see Vijay being in contention more often. Just to see somebody interrupting the Tiger show once in a while. I personally don't see Phil doing this in the near future!
Saw the new Hardees commercial with Phil eating one of those huge Thickburgers. Man, that dude is one fat hombre!
Nice to see someone other than Tiger win once in awhile. Enjoyed the tournament this weekend with my golfing buddy, Curtis Somoza. We really like watching the PGA Tour when they visit Hawaii.
It was a great to see Vijay win. I think it will be a great tour for him this year.
Who the hell is Curtis Somoza and why should we care? My golf buddy, Ken Jackson, relly enjoyed the tournament as well.
Isn't a somoza one of those Indian small fried meat pies? Delicious!

He's a freakin' crook!
I know lots of people are happy to see Vijay win because he is the underdog compared to Tiger, but did you ever hear Vijay talk? He is very conceited. He thinks he's the best. I’d like to see a true underdog win the next time like John Daly, Justin Leonard or even David Duval. I think it makes the game more exciting.
You're right - just look at his reponse to press: "Fred Funk won a golf tournament when he was 48, and I'm a lot bigger and a lot stronger than Freddie Funk" Maybe Justin, but I doubt Duval (vertigo problems- I think) or Daly (still rehabbing) have a chance. Go Tiger!!!
As long as Tiger does not win I'm happy. Vijay is a hard worker - he deserves it!
Scott was close. I thikn he will win next time.
