His drive &#8211; with a fairway metal no less &#8211; dove left, bounced hard, and trickled into the water ont he first playoff hole. After blasting his third shot over the green, Daly had a 10-footer left for bogey when Singh tapped in for his par and the tournament victory.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nSingh overcame some putter problems en route to his 70. His tee shot on the playoff hole &#8211; played well to the right &#8211; found an opening in the sparse trees, and his two-putt from the front of the green locked up his second PGA Tour victory of the year just days after it was announced that he was <a href=\"http:\/\/thesandtrap.com\/pga\/vijay_singh_to_become_youngest_member_of_hall_of_fame\/\" title=\"Singh Elected to WGHOF\">elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jos&eacute; Maria Olazabel shot 70 to finish at -11, one better than Darren Clarke (67) and Greg Owen (72). Joe Ogilvie, who&#8217;s been playing well this year, hung in at -9 after a 71. Gavin Coles, the third-round co-leader, slipped to a 75 and a total of -8.<\/p>\n<p>Singh started tied for Coles, but couldn&#8217;t keep a surging John Daly down. His putting problems included a missed four-footer on the second, and his putting was spotty the rest of the round. He missed an eight-footer at the last to secure the victory in regulation. His putt for par in overtime was only 18 inches, and <a href=\"http:\/\/thesandtrap.com\/pga\/luck_of_the_irish_padraig_drives_away_with_the_honda\/\" title=\"Unlike Before\">unlike before<\/a>, he made this one.<\/p>\n<p>Daly began the day three shots off the lead and birdied three but bogeyed two on the front nine, but turned things around with a birde at the twelfth. He birdied the par-5 15th after driving into the trees, punching out, and knocking his third shot to four feet. His approach to 17 was within 4&frac12; feet of the pin, and he holed the putt. His final birdie at the 72nd hole came from nine feet away.<\/p>\n<p>Vijay Singh will remain the #2 player in the world. That&#8217;s what he gets for winning tournament with such a weak field.<\/p>\n<pre>Pos  Player               Today    Tot    R1    R2    R3    R4    Tot\n1*   Vijay Singh           -2      -13    64    71    70    70    275\n2    John Daly             -5      -13    68    67    73    67    275\n3    Jose Maria Olazabal   -2      -11    70    67    70    70    277\nT4   Darren Clarke         -5      -10    71    69    71    67    278\nT4   Greg Owen              E      -10    67    69    70    72    278\n6    Joe Ogilvie           -1       -9    68    67    73    71    279\nT7   Lucas Glover          -5       -8    70    71    72    67    280\nT7   Bo Van Pelt           -2       -8    69    68    73    70    280\nT7   Brian Davis           -2       -8    71    69    70    70    280\nT7   Jeff Maggert          -1       -8    67    68    74    71    280\nT7   Kent Jones            -1       -8    70    71    68    71    280\nT7   Gavin Coles           +3       -8    65    69    71    75    280\n* Won on first hole of playoff with a par.<\/pre>\n<p><span class=\"credit\">Photo Credit: &copy; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/sports\/golf\/pga\/2005-04-23-houston_x.htm\" title=\"AP\" class=\"external external_icon\">AP Photo\/David J.
